Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Just Dial targets mid-teens plus (around 15% or more) top line revenue growth going forward.
  • Both B2C and B2B segments have growth potential; B2B has more pricing levers to drive higher monetization.
  • Currently, only about 1.5% or less of the population is paying customers, indicating room for market penetration.
  • Growth is expected to come from both volume increases (new paid campaigns and customer additions) and realization/pricing improvements.
  • Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities (non-top 11) are growing at a faster pace and have lower ticket sizes, suggesting higher potential in these geographies.
  • Active focus on content enrichment and tools for SMEs aims to improve quality and quantity of leads, aiding monetization.
  • Advertising spend is optimized to grow quality traffic rather than quantity, projected to rise to 5-6% of revenue in the long term to support growth.
  • New lower-ticket size product categories might be introduced to onboard new customers.

Capex plans

No
  • Just Dial is making ongoing digital investments to keep future-ready, especially in building and updating software platforms such as Jd Xperts and other transaction-led initiatives.
  • Current expenditure on these platforms is small, primarily for maintaining and upgrading, with further spends planned when monetization visibility improves.
  • No immediate plans to aggressively spend on new features or large-scale tech investments until there is visibility on monetization potential.
  • Focus remains on optimizing existing platforms and preparing infrastructure for future category shifts to transactional models without cannibalizing existing revenue streams.
  • The company is also internally deliberating on capital utilization, including promoter infusion cash and organic cash flows; discussions about a capital distribution policy (including dividends or buybacks) are ongoing.
  • No specific large-scale capital expenditure or strategic investment beyond these points was indicated in the recent call.
