Kapil Makhija, managing director & CEO said, "We conclude FY25 marking a significant milestone first, the 100% acquisition of Shipway Technology has been approved by our board and our shareholders, and second, reaching Adjusted EBITDA breakeven for Shipway. The broader macro-environment continued to remain muted in FY25. Despite the headwinds, our Net Revenue Retention (NRR) for Uniware, which is measured as revenue growth in FY25 from clients active in FY24, stood at 103%. While the broader industry trend of slower e-commerce growth resulted in drop in NRR from 108% in FY24 to 103% in FY25, we remained focused on our core execution levers maintaining a 100%+ NRR from existing clients, scaling new client acquisitions and expanding our cross-sell footprint, particularly for Shipway. Looking ahead to FY26, we remain committed to disciplined execution with a focus on revenue growth, operational efficiency, and sustained profitability." Anurag Mittal, chief financial officer said, "Our cash and bank balance stood at INR 353.0 Mn as of March 25, compared to INR 690.1 Mn as of March 24. The year-on-year change reflects the cash outflow of INR 684 Mn for the acquisition of 'Shipway Technology'. Net cash flow from operations improved to INR 279.6 Mn in FY25, up from INR 61.7 Mn in FY24. As we move into FY26, we are focused on further strengthening the Uniware platform and fully leveraging the Shipway acquisition. We have consistently delivered strong performance over the years and expect to sustain this momentum, driven by operating leverage and growing profitability in our Uniware business, while Shipway is expected to contribute meaningfully to growth."
