Revenue from operations increased 19.6% year-on-year to Rs 737 crore, up from Rs 616 crore a year earlier, indicating healthy demand across the company's payments and merchant commerce businesses. Operating performance strengthened considerably during the quarter. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) more than doubled to Rs 95.1 crore, compared with Rs 44.6 crore in the year-ago period.
The improvement in profitability was also reflected in margins, with the company's EBITDA margin expanding to 12.9% from 7.2% in the same quarter last year.
