Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
CL Educate filed its investor presentation for FY25 along with audited results. Total revenue fell to Rs 332 Cr from Rs 368 Cr YoY (proforma revenue including DEX is Rs 544 Cr), while adjusted EBITDA dropped 14% to Rs 30 Cr from Rs 37.9 Cr. The company completed the acquisition of DEX (digital public assessment infrastructure business) on Feb 20, 2025 for Rs 231.80 Cr, funded largely through Rs 200 Cr of debt at 11.9% interest. Management has guided to becoming a zero-debt company within 36 months. MarTech revenue grew 22% YoY to Rs 149.5 Cr, but EdTech revenue declined 7% to Rs 189.5 Cr with EBITDA down 30% as Test Prep faced structural churn and MBA slowdown. Discontinued operations (Engineering, Medical, Bank-SSC, CA) posted a Rs 9.3 Cr loss.
Shareholders should note the significant debt taken on for the DEX acquisition (Rs 200 Cr) and near-term margin pressure in EdTech, though DEX is expected to be a strong growth driver with Rs 200 Cr revenue and 16% EBITDA margin in its stub period. The stock may react to the EBITDA decline and rising interest costs, balanced by the strategic value of the DEX acquisition.
