One 97 Communications (Paytm) reported FY25 consolidated revenue from operations of Rs 6,900 crore, down about 31% from Rs 9,978 crore in FY24, mainly because the company sold its movie ticketing and events businesses to Zomato in August 2024. Net loss for the year narrowed to Rs 663 crore from Rs 1,422 crore, helped by exceptional items netting to a Rs 823 crore gain, including a Rs 1,345 crore gain on the Zomato sale and a Rs 492 crore one-time charge from cancellation of the CEO's ESOPs. Operating cash flow turned negative at Rs 121 crore versus positive Rs 651 crore last year. The auditor (S.R. Batliboi & Associates) issued an unmodified opinion but highlighted four emphasis of matter items: a Rs 611 crore FEMA show cause notice, a massive Rs 5,712 crore GST notice to its gaming joint venture First Games, restatement of prior year escrow balances, and pending RBI authorization for the payment services subsidiary.
The improving core loss and Zomato sale gain are positives, but heavy regulatory overhangs (FEMA and especially the Rs 5,712 crore GST notice at the JV), negative operating cash flow, and a sharp revenue decline are likely to keep the stock under pressure. The CEO's voluntary ESOP forfeiture also removes a pending SEBI settlement issue.
