I now hand the conference over to Dr. Raj Narayanam, Executive Chairman. Thank you, and
over to you, sir.
Raj Narayanam: Thank you so much. A very good evening to everyone. Thank you for joining the earnings call
for Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services Limited for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. On behalf of
the company, I extend a very warm welcome to all of you and an advanced Happy Independence
Day. The financial results, press release and the investor presentation are uploaded on the stock
exchange and on the company website.
I hope everybody has had a chance to look at it. Now I would like to take the opportunity to talk
about Zaggle's financial update at a consolidated level. It's been a decade of sustained growth,
and it has brought us to a natural and exciting reflection point. For FY27 for us is going to be
about transformation through consolidation, optimizing our core operations, harnessing the
power of AI and seamlessly integrating our recent acquisitions.
We are moving from a merely profitable growth paradigm that has served us very well in the
past decade to a more focused approach on improving cash flows and calibrating capitalization,
which will position us well for the next phase of growth with higher margins.
By taking a deliberate, focused approach to our fundamental performance today amidst rapid
technological shifts and dynamic market, we ensure our business remains resilient, agile and
positioned to drive long-term shareholder value and global scale. In Q1 FY27, we sustained our
top line momentum, delivering revenue of INR423 crores, a 28% year-on-year growth compared
to Q1 FY26.
Our adjusted EBITDA stood at around INR34.7 crores, reflecting key strategic transitions that I
will detail shortly. What's more encouraging, however, is our expanding revenue footprint, a
clear sign of strong growing demand for our core platform. Now I would like to take the
opportunity to elaborate more on our 3 focus areas: revenue, EBITDA and operating cash flow.
On revenue, our total revenue growth of 28% reflects operational momentum across both our
stand-alone business and our subsidiaries. On a stand-alone basis, Q1 FY27 revenue reached
Page 2 of 18
Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services Limited

approximately INR390 crores, representing an 18% expansion over INR331 crores in Q1 FY26.
This 18% top line is particularly resilient given that Q1 is historically a soft quarter due to
seasonality.
Meanwhile, performance across our subsidiaries has been exceptional, and I look forward to
detailing those results shortly. As always, we expect growth to accelerate through Q2 and
remainder of the fiscal year. Now on EBITDA. In Q1 FY27, our adjusted EBITDA margin
stands at around 8.2% as compared to 10.1% in Q1 FY26. Our overall cost base, which includes
employee cost as well as other expenses went up by around 25% comparing Q1 FY27 to Q4
FY26 at a consolidated level.
While we were successfully able to optimize around 15% of the cost base throughout FY26,
which would have reflected in FY27, there were 4 major areas, which contributed to the rise.
Expenses related to DICE acquisition, which we absorbed when we absorbed around 100
talented AI professionals, costs, including their transfer onetime costs and also would want to
highlight at this point that we will start realizing the revenue from novated DICE contracts only
from Q2 FY27.
A moderated push of expenses into the P&L, which we were earlier capitalizing, and this is what
we are going to continue to do it over the year. The standard employee increments, which come
at the end of the year -- end of the financial year and gets reflected in the Q1 is also one of the
reasons.
Added employee costs, marketing costs and other expenses from the acquisition of Zagg.Money.
Expenses related to DICE acquisitions were predominantly relocation costs for transitioning 100
employees from Pune to Hyderabad between May and June, along with onetime tech vendor
payments to ensure continuity between the transition, along with onetime transaction costs
reflected primarily under other expenses. With the relocation now complete, the DICE team cost
from Q2 FY27 will sit under our employee benefit expenses.
On the capitalization front, we are reviewing and updating our policies in close consultation with
our advisers. Rather than waiting for a full policy rollout, we took immediate proactive measures
in Q1 FY27 to moderate new capitalization levels. This calibrated moderation aligns with our
focus on operational prudence and ensures our P&L better reflects our run rate costs.
On operating cash flow, strengthening our operating cash flow trajectory remains a key priority.
We look forward to detailing our progress on the next earnings calls, highlighting not only the
actions what we have already taken to improve cash conversion, but also the additional levers,
which we are preparing to execute forward -- going forward.
Now I would like to give you an overview of Zaggle investments and acquisitions. I would like
to start off by talking about our latest investment. We have made a strategic investment of around
INR8 crores in Unobanc Private Limited, which operates under the brand of moneyHOP.
Unobanc now holds an authorized dealer Category 2 license from the Reserve Bank of India,
