Overview
- Loss before tax fell 42% to Rs 1,105 crore in FY25, while revenue edged up 0.7% to Rs 723.4 crore.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to Rs 219 crore after a roughly 30% cut in costs to Rs 1,862.1 crore, and the core ShareChat app turned cash-generative in February.
- Advertising revenue declined 8% to Rs 290 crore, which management linked to real-money gaming advertisers pulling back after the new Online Gaming Act and a softer digital ad market.
