One97 Communications Ltd, the parent company of Paytm, reported a net profit of ₹122.5 crore in the first quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q1 FY26). This marks a sharp U-turn from a loss of ₹838.9 crore in the same period last year. The company had posted a loss of ₹539.8 crore in the preceding March quarter (Q4 FY25). This is Paytm's first quarterly profit since the September 2024 quarter. "Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortis ation (Ebitda) and profit after tax (PAT) turned profitable at ₹72 crore (margin of 4 per cent) and ₹123 crore respectively, demonstrating artificial intelligence (AI)-led operating leverage, disciplined cost structure and higher other income," the company said in a BSE filing. Fintech major's revenue from operations also rose to ₹1,917.5 crore in Q1 FY26, up 27.7 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) from ₹1,501.6 crore. On a quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q) basis, the revenue was marginally higher than ₹1,911.5 crore. The growth was attributed to an increase in the number of subscription merchants, higher gross merchandise volume (GMV), and growth in revenues from the distribution of financial services.

"Our subscription merchants, who pay for devices and services, are at an all time high at 1.30 crore. We see potential of over 10 crore merchants who will accept payments and we believe that, over a period of time, 40-50 per cent of these merchants will need subscription services for managing their business needs. We are uniquely positioned to capitalise on the vast and growing market, especially as we have strategically identified monetisation opportunities across the merchant ecosystem," the company said.
