EPS improved 11.5% to Rs 4.01 (post-split). **Strategic Initiatives & Growth Drivers:** The non-recruitment portfolio (99acres, Jeevansathi, Shiksha) drove growth with a 17.6% YoY billings increase, securing market share gains and reducing cash losses.
Jeevansathi notably achieved operating breakeven and positive cash flow.
Recruitment business billings grew 9.0% YoY, but saw moderation due to macro headwinds.
An amalgamation scheme for four wholly-owned subsidiaries is underway. **Business Developments:** The Group is divesting its entire shareholding in joint venture Shopkirana to a subsidiary of Udaan, marking its exit from this venture.
This highlights active portfolio management. **Market Position & Competitive Advantage:** Naukri maintained its dominant traffic share in recruitment (75%+). 99acres reinforced its real estate leadership with strong traffic share and high user engagement.
Jeevansathi continued its positive billings momentum amidst competitive market conditions. **Investor Implications:** Despite moderation in the core recruitment segment, robust cash generation and a strong cash balance underscore financial resilience.
The accelerated growth and path to profitability of the non-recruitment portfolio present positive growth potential.
Investors should monitor the recovery trajectory of the recruitment sector.
