Jayaram Chetty: Good evening, everyone. On behalf of ICICI Securities, I would like to welcome you all to Q1
FY'27 Earnings Call of Matrimony.
From the company, we have Mr. Murugavel Janakiraman – MD and CEO.
The call will begin with the brief Management remarks followed by a Q&A session. I would
like to hand over the call to Mr. Janakiraman sir for his personal remarks. Over to you, sir.
Murugavel Janakiraman: Thank you, Mr. Jayaram Chetty. Good evening, everyone.
During our last interaction, we indicated that profit for the quarter will be more than double of
that last year. I am pleased to report that we have delivered on that guidance with the PAT
increasing by 127% year-on-year. In Q1, on a consolidated basis, we achieved a billing of Rs.
136.0 crores, a growth of 7.8% quarter-over-quarter and 7.8% year-on-year. Revenues at Rs.
130.5 crores, a growth of 11.7% quarter-over-quarter and 13.2% year-on-year.
Key highlights for the Matchmaking business in Q1 are as follows:
• Billing at Rs. 135.3 crores, a growth of 7.9% quarter-over-quarter and 8.0% year-on-
year. Revenue at Rs. 109.5 crores, a growth of 11.7% quarter-over-quarter and 13.6%
year-on-year.
• Matchmaking EBITDA reached Rs. 34.9 crores, which is 26.9%. Actually, there is a
difference between the billing and GAAP revenue of around Rs. 5.5 crores. If the
billing had been the same as the revenue, EBITDA will touch even Rs. 40 crores. So,
I think Matchmaking has reached a certain level of threshold in terms of EBITDA
margins. So, anyway, the increase in billing will benefit in the subsequent quarters.
• We added Rs. 2.72 lakhs paid subscription during the quarter, a growth of 15.9%
quarter-over-quarter and 3.7% year-on-year.
• ATV for the Matchmaking business dropped at 6.7% on a quarter-on-quarter and grew
by 4.2% year-on-year.
• We facilitated over 25,500 success stories during the quarter.
Now, coming to the other business, our marriage services business and other businesses:
Page 2 of 11
Matrimony.com Limited
August 11, 2026
• Billing were Rs. 74 lakhs, a growth of 0.5% quarter-over-quarter and decline of 13.8%
year-on-year.
• Revenue was Rs. 96 lakhs, a growth of 13.1% quarter-over-quarter, decline of 24.3%
year-on-year.
• EBITDA level losses per quarter was Rs. 3.8 crores as compared to loss of Rs. 5.7
crores in the last quarter. However, we expect the new other initiatives, wedding
services, growth momentum will pick up this quarter and will scale up in the coming
quarters. Definitely, we will see the growth momentum happening there as well.
On the billing and revenue outlook for Quarter 2:
• Matchmaking billing and revenue will have a double-digit growth, year-on-year basis
in Quarter 2.
• Profit will also be triple digit in Quarter 2 as well. Marriage services billing is expected
to be higher than quarter 1.
We are also doing a lot with AI. We are using AI in many areas. We are using AI in
automation, service improvement, product improvement and driving efficiency. There
is a lot of work happening on the AI side as well which is helping us to drive efficiency
and also improving the experience which we are providing to the customers.
So, let me hand over to Sushanta Swain – VP of Finance to comment on the key profit highlight
for the quarter and the next coming quarter as well. Sushanta, over to you.

Q4 and 17.6% a year ago. Marketing expenses for the Matchmaking business in Q1 were Rs.

marketing expenses, margins for Matchmaking business is at 63% and compared to in Q4, 59%
and a year earlier.
On a consolidated basis, EBITDA margin in Q1 is at 20.1% compared to 12.4% in Q4 and 11%
a year ago. Tax rate for the Quarter 23.8%. PAT is at 19.1 crores, a growth of 96.2% quarter-on-

Thank you.
Murugavel Janakiraman: Thank you, Sushanta. We can take questions now.
Moderator: Thank you very much. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. The first question
is from the line of Abhinav M from Aequitas Investments. Please go ahead.
Abhinav M: Hi. Firstly, congratulations for a great result. My first question was regarding the revenue
recognition mechanism. How do we recognize revenue whether it is over the period or by the
end of the plan? And second was how much is the difference between the billing growth and the
revenue growth?
Murugavel Janakiraman: Abhinav, thanks so much. The revenue recognized based on the subscription period. So, we have
the membership ranging from 3 months to 1 year also. So, for the duration of membership period,
the revenue is getting recognized. So, that's the way it is done. If you look at the quarter 1, the
billing was Rs. 136 crore overall and Matchmaking was Rs. 135.3 crore, where the revenue
recognition was Rs. 130.5 crore. There is almost a Rs. 5 crore difference. So, because of, you
know, the last year also there is a longitudinal package, 1 year package was introduced. So,
sometimes the revenue gap on account of the increase in
