The deal holds promise for both NCR firms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transaction resulted in a gain of Rs 1,345.4 crore, which was reported in the financials as an &#8220;exceptional item&#8221;, resulting in Paytm&#8217;s financial turnaround into profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sale also increased Paytm&#8217;s cash reserves to Rs 9,999 crore as of September end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quarter updates&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paytm&#8217;s managed to bring down its indirect cost by 17 percent QoQ to Rs 1,080 crore due to reduction in employee costs (down 13% QoQ), marketing expenses and absence of certain one-time expenses incurred in&nbsp;the first quarter. As a result, its adjusted EBITDA loss came down to Rs 186 crore in the September quarter compared to Rs 545 crore in June quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Q2, Paytm&#8217;s\u00a0revenue from payments\u00a0rose 9 percent QoQ to Rs 981 crore, led by increase in GMV, focus on monetisation and increase in merchant subscriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The net payment margin increased 21 percent QoQ to Rs 465 crore, largely on account of improvement in payment processing margin, better device realization and growth in GMV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going forward, Paytm said it sees additional monetisation opportunities on Soundbox, and has started piloting advertisements through Soundbox which&nbsp;integrate branding between companies and consumers. It has&nbsp;partnered with brands like Meesho, Cocacola, Mondelez and Dabur, among others for Soundbox Ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Financial&nbsp;services&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, revenue from financial services and others rose 34 percent QoQ to Rs 376 crore. The company attributed this growth to increase in collection bonuses in merchant loans and a higher share of merchant loans, which have higher take rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the merchant loan distribution business, Paytm said it has started working with select lenders by giving Default Loss Guarantee (DLG) for select portfolios. It entered into a DLG agreement of Rs 225 crore with SMFG India Credit, wherein Paytm will take the first loss hit if borrowers default on payments through its platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;From August 2024, we have started distributing merchant loans under the DLG model with one of our partners. The outstanding AUM amount for this portfolio as on 30th September 2024 is Rs 1,651 crore,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paytm distributed Rs 3,303 crore merchant loans, versus Rs 2,508 crore in the previous quarter, while the personal loan distribution was down to Rs 1,977 crore versus Rs 2,500 crore due to tighter policies around unsecured lending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eqwires.com\/tutorials\/who-is-the-best-sebi-registered-investment-advisor-in-i\">Eqwires Research Analyst<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-gray-color has-text-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eqwires.com\/\">Top-notch SEBI registered research analyst<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-gray-color has-text-color\"><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eqwires.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Best SEBI registered Intraday tips provider <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-gray-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"mailto:info@eqwires.com\"><strong>info@eqwires.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-red-color has-text-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/eqwires\">Telegram&nbsp;<\/a>|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/eqwires\/\">Facebook&nbsp;<\/a>|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/Eqwires\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>Call: +91 9624421555 \/&nbsp;<em>+91 9624461555<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eqwires.com\/\">www.eqwires.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paytm parent\u00a0One 97 Communications Ltd\u00a0reported a profit of Rs 930 crore in the second quarter ended September 2024 from Rs 290 crore loss a year back, on the back of gains made from sale of its entertainment ticketing business to Zomato.
