Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Transaction growth largely driven by new client acquisitions; new clients pay minimum guarantees which initially subsume transaction growth in revenues.
  • International business currently 4-5% of revenue, expected to grow steadily in Middle East and Southeast Asia as e-commerce ecosystems evolve.
  • Pricing in international markets slightly higher than domestic but early days; pricing and use cases expected to stabilize over time.
  • Stand-alone Uniware business growth aligned with market growth; new products and upgrades launched to drive future growth.
  • Shipway expected to have higher growth potential than stand-alone business due to large total addressable market and being a newer entrant.
  • Market growth recovery signs in Q2 sales seasons (Raksha Bandhan, Prime Day) provide cautious optimism for higher growth in coming quarters.
  • Introduction of price escalation clauses in new contracts since last year, benefits expected to accrue from later part of current year and beyond.
  • Continued focus on disciplined execution, client engagement, and platform enhancements to unlock incremental revenue streams.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • Growth in revenue is driven by four factors: market growth, new client additions, new product launches (like UniReco), and international expansion.
  • Uniware stand-alone business growth aligns with overall market growth, with initial signs of increased sales in Q2.
  • New client acquisitions and upgraded product capabilities are expected to drive future growth.
  • Pricing improvements through price escalation clauses introduced in new contracts last year will start benefiting in later parts of FY '26 and possibly existing contracts thereafter.
  • Continued cost optimization, AI-driven internal process improvements, and higher operating leverage are expected to enhance profitability.
  • Shipway business shows strong momentum with planned pruning of low-margin accounts improving profitability.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margins improved significantly (from 16.3% in Q1 FY '25 to 21.1% in Q1 FY '26).
  • EPS grew by 10.4% Y-o-Y in Q1 FY '26, indicating positive earnings growth trajectory.
  • International business is a small but growing contributor, with steady traction in Middle East and Southeast Asia.
