"This is the first quarter where we have pruned out every word which included EBITDA (operational profit) before ESOP, PAT (profit after tax) before ESOP or anything before ESOP. Next quarter onward, we will stop giving the ESOP line. It will be only employee cost. We are maturing towards absolute complete employee cost, including EBITDA or PAT, where the ESOP cost is the cost of the management. No more adjusting anything," he said.
Paytm earlier issued profitability targets after complex adjustments.
