2-Min Summary
Digispice Technologies (Spice Money) reported a muted Q3 FY26 with GTV declining ~4% QoQ due to normalization of subsidy flows and consolidation in the MFI/NBFC sector impacting collections. However, gross margin improved to 47% (from ~44% guided steady state) driven by cost optimization and mix shift away from low-margin CMS. PAT for the quarter was ₹2.4 crore (9M PAT ₹16.5 crore vs ₹4 crore prior year), reflecting operating leverage as indirect costs were held flat. Management highlighted operating leverage kicking in, with 9M EBITDA of ~₹21 crore vs ₹4 crore YoY. New engines—credit (disbursements of ₹19.2 crore in Q3 vs ₹20.5 crore in full FY25) and insurance—are gaining traction. Guidance: gross margins to settle at 44-45%; credit distribution to scale in H2 FY27; UPI cash point launch expected in Q4. Risk: continued slowdown in MFI/NBFC lending could pressure collections revenue.
