Contribution profit for the quarter stood at Rs 1,207 crore (up 35% YoY), with a contribution margin of 59% (up 5 percentage points YoY), driven by improved net payment income, higher share of financial services revenue distribution and reduction in DLG costs.
Net payments revenue rose 28% year-on-year to Rs 594 crore, led by growth in the number of high-value subscription merchants and an increase in payment processing margins. Financial services revenue distribution rose 63% year-on-year to Rs 611 crore, driven by growth in trade loan distribution
The company said it has seen consistent gains in consumer market share in recent months due to product improvement and addition of AI features.
Going forward, Paytm has identified four focus areas. Firstly, the company plans to expand its leadership among small and large, both online and offline merchants by deepening the penetration of full-stack payment offerings including payment gateway solutions, QR, Soundbox, All-in-One POS card machines, etc. The company also aims to expand its distribution of financial services by increasing the number of lenders including banks, introducing new products such as Paytm Postpaid with a banking partner and continuously improving collection performance using AI. Furthermore, Paytm says it is driving AI-first, product-led innovation to improve consumer experience and drive retention, supporting continued gains in consumer market share
As an additional long-term growth driver, Paytm is evaluating selected new markets for its technology and products. “We expect this initiative to make a meaningful contribution after two to three years,” the report said.
