Route Mobile earnings and margin pressure

Consolidated revenue rose 7.4% year over year to ₹23,312 million in the six months ended September 30. Adjusted EBITDA fell 8.6% to ₹2,274 million, with its margin narrowing to 9.8% from 11.5%. Adjusted profit after tax declined 5% to ₹1,511 million.

The company attributed the margin decline to higher salary costs and increased legal and professional fees. Its quarterly results announcement reported revenue of ₹1,179.67 crore and reported profit after tax of ₹82.55 crore for the September quarter.

Second-quarter revenue rose 2.4% from the preceding quarter, while adjusted EBITDA increased 8.7%. Gross profit margin recovered to 22.4% from 20.9%, supported by an enhanced routing strategy and growth in newer products.

Dividend and business expansion

Route Mobile declared an interim dividend of ₹4 per share. It reported first-half earnings per share of ₹22.57 and cash on its books of ₹13,556 million at September 30.

The company completed its acquisition of Heltar Technologies’ AI-driven customer engagement business on July 29 for ₹33.7 crore, adding no-code conversational AI capabilities. It also launched a Salesforce-native messaging application in August.
