Q2/H1 FY27 Investor / Analyst Conference Call Transcript
(Held on the Metaverse Platform – VOSMOS)
Opening Remarks
Arjun Wadhwa: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to CL Educate Limited's H1 FY27
Analyst Call. Let me first just confirm with my fellow panelists if I am audible. Could someone give me a
thumbs up? Thank you. Thank you. As I said, welcome once again to CL Educate Limited's H1 FY27
Analyst Call.
My name is Arjun Wadhwa. I am the Group CFO of CL Educate, and I will be your host today. Once again,
we are on our Metaverse platform called VOSMOS, which we have been using for almost four years now
for our analyst calls. This call, as always, will be recorded, transcribed and made available in the investor
zone on our website within the next 48 hours. Should you have any questions at any point in time,
please feel free to type them in the chat box in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. We will
address them at the end of the session.
Joining me on this conference call today are Mr. Gautam Puri — he is our Co-Founder, Vice Chairman
and Managing Director; Gautam takes direct reporting of the EdTech business, including our Test Prep
business. And Mr. Nikhil Mahajan, he is the Executive Director and Group CEO of our Enterprise business;
Nikhil anchors the MarTech business. And Mr. Harshit Maniar, CFO of DEXIT Global Limited, subbing in
today for Mr. Yatrik Vin, who unfortunately is ill and recovering from a major surgery. Welcome, Harshit,
and other gentlemen, to this call.
I would now like to hand over to Nikhil to take you through the presentation, after which I shall come
back and assist with the Q&A. Over to you, Nikhil.
Nikhil Mahajan: Thank you, Arjun. Please confirm if I am clearly audible.
Arjun Wadhwa: Yes, please go ahead.
Capital Reduction Scheme Update
Nikhil Mahajan: So, before I jump into the performance and the detailed analysis of the business
performance, I just wanted to give an update on a critical item. As you are aware, post the DEXIT
acquisition, there was a capital reduction scheme which was underway at DEXIT for the RPS —
Redeemable Preference Shares — of about ₹ 203 crores. I am happy to share that the NCLT approval
came through in the month of July, and we were able to close that transaction of redeeming those
preference shares and repaying the money to NSE Investments in the middle of August.
So this action has resulted in our overall balance sheet size getting trimmed by over ₹ 200 crores, and
is more reflective of the actual business and of all the three businesses. Unfortunately, we had to go
that route, and that loaded the balance sheet by about ₹ 200 crores, which was beyond our control. A
couple of other updates I will come to towards the end of the session, but I will straight away jump into
the business performance and the numbers for the one half year.
Financial Performance Overview — H1 FY27
Nikhil Mahajan: A brief snapshot of it is that our business is doing well, our margins are expanding. As
you can see, our EBITDA margin has expanded by about 3 percentage points from the same time last
year. It has increased from 15.7% last year to about 18.6% this year, despite a 4% decline in the overall
revenue from ₹ 319 crores to ₹ 305 crores in H1. It has seen an increase in EBITDA from ₹ 50 crores to
about ₹ 57 crores, and returning to positive PAT with a 350% growth in PAT from the same time last
year.
Yes, the revenue has declined by about 4%, predominantly in two business segments. In the EdTech
segment, the revenue declined by about ₹ 12 crores, and it also declined by about ₹ 10 crores in DEX,
which was largely on account of the fall-through of the base effect of last year, wherein in the first
quarter of FY26 there were certain rollover contracts which got executed which were no longer there in
the current fiscal. In Q2, the DEX revenues have more or less remained stable and have just marginally
exceeded the revenue of Q1 in the current year. Q2 over the last year, the MarTech revenues have
expanded, and as a result, a margin expansion across all three verticals has resulted in an overall 300
basis point increase in the EBITDA margin, translating into a positive EBITDA.
There have been significant contract wins in DEXIT Global. The total multi-year contract wins, as we
speak, aggregate to about ₹ 172 crores, which will get delivered over the next two to three years. Some
contracts are two-year wins, some are three-year wins. As we speak, I think the business is on a pretty
strong footing, and as we walk into H2, I think our numbers are going to look better, significantly better
than what they were in the last H2. Arjun, we can move to the next slide, please.
While, as I stated earlier, there has been a decline in our revenues by about 4%, as a proactive
management action we had also started acting on our cost structures at the beginning of the current
fiscal year or earlier than that. There has been a marginal decline in service delivery costs, which is more
or less pro-rated as a percentage of the decline in revenue. But the critical element to note is the decline
in the overhead cost by about ₹ 12.5 crores in the first six months as compared to the same cost in H1
of last year. This significant optimization in terms of cost overheads, spread across people, infrastructure
and various other overhead costs, has translated into a positive saving of about ₹ 12.5 crores.
The savings will continue to reflect in H2 of the current fiscal year as well. However, the total quantum
may not be ₹ 12.5 crores, because the savings started to get into effect from Q4 of this year, so there
will be some tempering in the cost savings in H2. But on an overall basis, I think we should be able to
reflect total cost savings of around ₹ 20 to 22 crores on overheads during the current fiscal year, during
the remaining part of H2.
Segment Performance Overview
Nikhil Mahajan: Now let me do a slight deep dive into each of our businesses. Our EdTech business
saw a decline of revenue of about 13%, with a major chunk still getting attributed to the flattening
