Paytm's board approved audited consolidated and standalone financial results for Q4 FY25 and full year FY25 on May 6, 2025, with an unmodified audit opinion from S.R. Batliboi & Associates LLP. FY25 revenue from operations fell sharply to about INR 69,004 million from INR 99,778 million in FY24, though net loss narrowed to INR 6,632 million (FY24 loss: INR 14,224 million). Q4 FY25 revenue stood at INR 19,115 million with a quarterly loss of INR 5,446 million. Results include significant exceptional items: a INR 4,924 million charge from cancellation of 21 million ESOPs that CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma voluntarily surrendered, offset partially by a INR 13,454 million gain from the sale of the movie ticketing business to Zomato. Cash and equivalents fell to INR 20,769 million from INR 42,772 million, and operating cash flow turned negative at INR -1,213 million (vs +INR 6,508 million prior year). The auditor flagged multiple Emphasis of Matter items: a FEMA show cause notice to the company and two subsidiaries (~INR 6,111 million), a INR 57,120 million GST demand on the First Games JV, RBI-related authorization delays for Paytm Payments Services, and a restatement of prior escrow balances.
The narrowing of annual losses and a clean audit opinion are positives, but revenue declined sharply (~31%) and operating cash flow turned negative, signalling pressure on core business momentum. Major regulatory overhangs (large FEMA and GST show cause notices) and pending RBI authorization remain key risks that could weigh on the stock despite the one-time gain from the Zomato divestiture.
