Summary of ZAGGLE PREPAID OCEAN SERVICES's latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.
Last updated: Feb 25
Management Outlook and Major Points:
Outlook:
Management raised FY25 revenue growth guidance to 58-63%, fueled by organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. They aim to enhance margins (targeting 15-16% EBITDA margins in 3-4 years) through operational efficiency, cross-selling, and inorganic growth. Investments in AI (e.g., RazBot chatbot) and new products (e.g., BROME, health/wellness wallets) are central to scaling platforms. The recent INR 595 crore QIP supports acquisitions in spend management/payment infrastructure, with 5 targets evaluated (2 advanced).
Key Highlights:
Management remains confident in sustained growth via platform-led offerings, cross-selling, and operational leverage.

1. Question: What is the reason for the lower gross margins in the Propel business, and will they recover to the guided 7"“9% range for FY25?
Answer: The lower margins in Q3 were due to delayed volume-based merchant discounts, which are expected to materialize in Q4. Management anticipates margins to reach "thereabouts" 7"“9% for FY25, driven by slab-based commission structures.
2. Question: Why is the cost base expanding faster than revenue despite being a platform business, and where are investments being prioritized?
Answer: Costs are rising due to investments in new capabilities like BROME (Branch Recurring Operating Monthly Expenses) and scaling solutions for large clients. Management emphasized EBITDA/PAT growth over short-term cost ratios, citing high-margin client acquisitions and product deployment.
3. Question: Why hasn't operating leverage improved margins, and what is the margin trajectory for the next 2"“4 years?
Answer: Revenue mix shifts (lower-margin Propel Points growth) offset operating leverage. Margins are projected to reach 15"“16% in 3"“4 years via SaaS/Program Fees growth, acquisitions, and reduced cashbacks.
4. Question: How will the QIP funds be utilized for inorganic growth?
Answer: Funds will target acquisitions in merchant card software, payment infrastructure, and adjacent sectors. Two deals are at advanced stages, with potential closure in CY2025.
5. Question: Will Program Fees outpace Propel Points revenue growth?
Answer: Program Fees grew 110% YoY for 9M FY25 and is expected to outpace Propel Points due to BROME adoption and enterprise cross-selling. SaaS and Program Fees have higher margins.
6. Question: How will RBI's prepaid card-on-UPI policy impact the business?
Answer: It expands Zaggle's addressable market and interchange revenue (UPI interchange at ~1.1%). A planned UPI-focused acquisition will further enhance margins.
7. Question: Why has Program Fees revenue stagnated despite client additions?
Answer: Seasonality and implementation lags for large clients caused flat growth. Q4 is expected to show stronger traction as signed clients (e.g., conglomerates) ramp up usage.
8. Question: What is the revenue potential per enterprise client (e.g., large retail chains)?
Answer: Large conglomerates could contribute Rs.50"“65 crore annually. Margins from these clients are accretive due to SaaS/Program Fees dominance over Propel Points.
9. Question: Why are software/SaaS revenues growing slowly?
Answer: Enterprise SaaS growth is slower due to implementation cycles. BROME-driven contracts (e.g., Zepto, Blinkit) are expected to accelerate software revenue in upcoming quarters.
10. Question: When will acquisitions be finalized?
Answer: Two deals are in advanced stages (term sheet/due diligence) but unlikely to close in FY25. All three targets (two large, one small) are expected to close in CY2025.
Insider Trading: There's significant insider buying recently.
Technicals: Bullish SharesGuru indicator.
Balance Sheet: Strong Balance Sheet.
Dividend: Stock hasn't been paying any dividend.
Smart Money: Smart money is losing interest in the stock.
