In a strong finish to the fiscal year, Info Edge (India) Ltd., the parent company of Naukri.com and Jeevansathi.com, posted an impressive performance for the quarter ending March 2025 (Q4 FY25). The company reported a staggering 667% YoY increase in consolidated net profit, driven by exceptional gains and a steady improvement in operational metrics.
Info Edge (India) Ltd, the parent company of popular online platforms such as Naukri.com, Jeevansathi.com, and 99acres.com, delivered a robust financial performance for the fourth quarter of FY25. The company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹463 crore, marking a massive 667 percent increase compared to ₹60 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The surge in profit was primarily driven by an exceptional gain recorded during the quarter.
Revenue from operations stood at ₹750 crore, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 14 percent, slightly higher than the ₹657 crore reported in Q4 FY24. Operating profit, measured as EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation), increased by 13 percent to ₹248 crore from ₹219 crore a year ago. The EBITDA margin remained largely stable at 33 percent, indicating consistent operational efficiency despite the growing scale of the business.
Info Edge’s board of directors has also approved a final dividend of ₹3.60 per share, underscoring the company’s strong cash position and ongoing commitment to shareholder returns.
On the strategic investment front, the company maintained its holdings in two major digital businesses. As of the end of March 2025, Info Edge held a 12.43 percent stake in Zomato and a 12.52 percent stake in PB Fintech. These investments continue to be valuable assets on the company’s balance sheet and have likely contributed to the exceptional gain in the quarter.
Despite the weak sentiment in the broader market, Info Edge shares closed just 0.66 percent lower at ₹1,463.60 on May 27, outperforming the NIFTY50 index which dropped over one percent. The market’s relatively positive response suggests investor confidence in the company’s strategic direction and earnings momentum.
Info Edge continues to benefit from its leadership in the online recruitment segment through Naukri.com, which remains its most significant revenue generator. Other verticals such as Jeevansathi and 99acres are gradually gaining traction, supported by focused investments and a shift toward improved monetization.
Looking ahead, the company is expected to maintain its growth trajectory supported by a favorable digital adoption environment, rising demand in India’s job market, and strategic value unlocking from its portfolio of investments. As the economy continues to digitize, Info Edge is well-positioned to leverage its brand equity and expand its footprint across different online service verticals.
The fourth quarter results underscore the company’s operational strength, prudent investment strategy, and disciplined financial management. Investors and analysts will be watching closely as Info Edge moves into the new fiscal year, with expectations for continued growth and innovation across its business segments
