Eternal Limited (formerly known as Zomato Limited) announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the financial year 2025-26, covering the period ending 30 June 2025. The company posted a 67% year-on-year (YoY) increase in consolidated adjusted revenue, which reached ₹7,521 crore. However, adjusted EBITDA declined by 42% YoY to ₹172 crore due to ongoing investments in quick commerce and the going-out business.
Adjusted Revenue: ₹7,563 crore (up 67% YoY, 22% QoQ)
Adjusted EBITDA: ₹172 crore (down 42% YoY)
B2C Net Order Value (NOV): ₹20,183 crore (up 55% YoY, 16% QoQ)
The Eternal Limited (Zomato) share price as of 21st July 2025 at 3:30 PM was ₹276.50.
Quick Commerce: Now the largest B2C segment, contributing nearly half of the annualised NOV
Hyperpure Revenue: Up 89% YoY and 25% QoQ
Cash Balance: Slightly increased to ₹18,857 crore
The company’s B2C segments, comprising food delivery, quick commerce, and going-out, saw strong NOV growth. Quick commerce overtook food delivery in NOV for the first full quarter, with the combined B2C NOV reaching ₹20,183 crore, an annualised run rate of nearly $10 billion.
Hyperpure, the B2B arm, recorded 89% YoY growth in revenue. The company, however, expects a decline in this business over the coming quarters due to a strategic shift towards inventory ownership in quick commerce.
Adjusted EBITDA declined to ₹172 crore, mainly due to increased investment in Blinkit and District. That said, the food delivery segment improved its adjusted EBITDA margin to 5.0% of NOV, up from 3.9% in Q1FY25.
Take a look at the company’s unaudited financial details (in ₹ crore)
Particulars | Quarter Ended June 30, 2025 | Quarter Ended June 30, 2024 |
Revenue from operations | 7,167 | 4,206 |
Total income | 7,521 | 4,442 |
Total expenses | 7,433 | 4,203 |
Profit before exceptional items and tax | 88 | 239 |
Profit before tax | 88 | 239 |
1. Food Delivery (Zomato)
NOV growth slowed to 13% YoY.
Adjusted EBITDA margin improved YoY to 5.0% but dipped QoQ due to seasonal factors like summer onset and reduced delivery partner availability.
Management expects YoY growth to stabilise and trend back towards 20% in FY27.
2. Quick Commerce (Blinkit)
NOV grew by 127% YoY.
243 net new stores were added, bringing the total to 1,544.
Margins improved from -2.4% in Q4 FY25 to -1.8%, despite high investments and seasonality.
Revenue growth (155% YoY) outpaced NOV growth due to a shift to an inventory-led model.
3. Going-Out (District)
Annualised NOV at ₹8,000 crore.
2 million monthly transacting users with an average order value of over ₹1,700.
Growing at 30%+ YoY.
Revenue per order exceeds that of food delivery and quick commerce (₹160+).
4. Hyperpure (B2B)
Revenue grew 89% YoY.
Future revenue is expected to decline due to quick commerce moving to inventory ownership.
5. Other Segments
Higher adjusted EBITDA loss due to investments in Bistro (10-minute food delivery), Nugget, and Greening India.
Total loss funding of ₹150 crore budgeted for these in FY26.
Segment | Revenue (₹ Cr) | YoY Growth |
Food Delivery | 2,261 | 16% |
Hyperpure | 2,295 | 89% |
Quick Commerce | 2,400 | 155% |
Going-Out | 207 | 118% |
Others | 4 | - |
Compared to broader sector trends, Eternal outperformed in both revenue and customer base expansion. The shift in NOV mix and continued expansion of quick commerce signals the company’s growing strength in high-growth verticals. The consolidation of entertainment ticketing into the going-out segment also contributed to performance.
However, pressure on margins and near-term profitability in certain segments like Bistro and Nugget means performance is uneven across the board—an area some analysts had anticipated.
On Business Model and Strategy
Deepinder Goyal, Managing Director and CEO, shared insights on the company’s rotational leadership model, stating:
“Rotational Leadership is not about changing faces; it changes how decisions get made... It reduces complacency, accelerates execution, and allows more diverse leadership styles to emerge.”
Aditya Mangla, with a product/engineering background, now leads Zomato for a two-year term, marking a shift in the company's leadership approach.
On Blinkit’s Momentum
Albinder Dhindsa, Blinkit’s Head, said:
“Despite the investments in long-term infrastructure and high competition, a large portion of our business is already profitable... We should see margins getting better from here.”
He also highlighted the expansion to 3,000 stores as a clear opportunity and underlined the platform's break-even economics for new customer cohorts within the first month.
On ESG and Sustainability
Deepinder Goyal announced a new initiative:
“During the quarter, we launched Greening India—a large-scale agroforestry initiative to plant 2.5 million trees across 10,000 acres this year. These trees could remove 1.5 million tonnes of CO₂ over 30 years.”
