✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Delhivery reported a strong Q4 FY25 with revenue of INR 2,192 crore (+6% YoY) and EBITDA margin of 5.4%, expanding 320 bps YoY. PAT swung to INR 73 crore from a loss of INR 69 crore last year, marking the highest quarterly PAT in company history. The PTL segment was a standout, with revenue growth of 24% YoY and service EBITDA margins surging to 10.8% from 3.8% in Q3, driven by yield improvements, operating leverage, and fleet utilization gains. Express Parcel margins held steady at ~16% despite industry headwinds. Management highlighted strong volume retention trends from the Ecom Express acquisition, with April-May volumes exceeding seasonal norms. Guidance points to continued margin expansion in PTL and Express, with CapEx intensity expected to decline toward 3.5-4% over the medium term. Key risk: integration of Ecom Express may face unforeseen operational challenges or slower-than-expected volume retention.

NEW RISK
Ecom Express integration execution risk

Integration of Ecom Express may face challenges in facility consolidation, staff absorption, and volume retention, despite conservative assumptions.

Pricing pressure in Express Parcel may persist

Despite management's optimism, competitive pricing actions could continue to pressure Express Parcel margins, delaying recovery to 18% levels.
