Blinkit, the quick commerce arm of the foodtech giant Zomato, marked a significant milestone during the quarter ending on September 30, 2023 (Q2 FY24) by achieving a positive contribution for the first time.

In the shareholder letter accompanying its Q2 FY24 financial statements, Zomato announced that Blinkit’s contribution margin, as a percentage of the gross order value (GOV) within the overall business, demonstrated a noteworthy transformation. It progressed from a negative figure of -7.3% in Q2 FY23 to a positive +1.3% in the quarter concluding on September 30, 2023.

The company determines its contribution by deducting various expenses, including store costs, warehouse expenditures, packaging and handling expenses, and recruitment costs related to delivery agents, among other factors, from its total revenue.

It’s worth highlighting that this marks the first full quarter in which Blinkit achieved a positive contribution, following its initial contribution-positive status in June 2023. This significant milestone has firmly placed the quick commerce division of Zomato in the spotlight in this quarter’s shareholder letter.

In Q2 FY24, Blinkit processed a total of 45.5 million orders, reflecting a robust quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) increase of almost 24% compared to the 36.8 million orders in the preceding quarter. Furthermore, this also marked a substantial year-on-year (YoY) surge of 74.3% in comparison to Q1 FY23, during which it handled 26.1 million orders.

The significant surge is likewise evident in the Gross Order Value (GOV), which escalated by 29% in the quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) comparison and a remarkable 86% in the year-on-year (YoY) comparison, reaching INR 2,760 crore in Q2 FY24.

“Part of the reason for high growth was the low base effect, given the temporary disruption in the business in the previous quarter (as mentioned in our last letter),” said Blinkit cofounder and CEO Albinder Dhindsa.

“On a YoY basis, the GOV growth was 86%, as expected and in line with the past. GOV growth was largely driven by same-store sales growth as we continue to focus on serving more customer needs and ensuring consistency of service levels,” Dhindsa added.

Zomato’s Chief Financial Officer, Akshant Goyal, anticipates that Blinkit is poised to achieve yet another quarter of record-breaking performance in Q3, primarily attributed to the festive season.

During the reviewed quarter, Blinkit added 28 new stores, bringing the total store count to 411. Dhindsa elaborated on the geographical expansion, stating that the quick commerce platform targets a minimum of 100 additional stores by the end of FY24. Anticipating an estimated total of 480 stores by March 2024, the company aims for substantial growth.

Regarding the effects of geographic expansion, Dhindsa expressed optimism that Blinkit’s adjusted EBITDA margin would see improvement, leading the platform toward a break-even point by the first quarter of FY25.

“Having said that, what we really care about is that our existing stores increasingly make more contribution profit and at the same time the new stores that we open ramp-up at a pace that we expect them to (or better),” added the Blinkit CEO.

“…even if the aggregate margin falls as an outcome, we would not worry about that because the underlying business is solid and the fall in margin is then more a function of rapid good quality expansion in the business,” Dhindsa said.

The average order value (AOV) at Blinkit increased to INR 607 in the second quarter of FY24, up from INR 582 in the first quarter of FY24. Additionally, it saw a year-over-year growth of 7%.

“…part of the recent uptick in AOV was also driven by the improving assortment and GOV mix in favour of high ASP (average selling price) categories such as electronics, toys, books, beauty products, home décor, festive needs, among others. While the ordering frequency of these categories is lower, their ASP tends to be 3-4x higher than other categories, thereby driving up AOV,” the Blinkit CEO explained.

Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal reaffirmed his optimistic outlook for the quick commerce business, stating that it has the potential to outperform the food delivery business.

Goyal said Blinkit is seeing profitable economics not just at a store level but also at a city level and some of the cities are now operating at similar contribution per order as the food delivery business in those cities. “So even from a potential profit pool perspective, we think quick commerce is a larger opportunity than food delivery,” he said.

Zomato, during the second quarter of FY24, achieved its second profitable quarter, reporting a Profit After Tax (PAT) of INR 36 crore.

The company’s shares concluded Friday’s trading session with an 8.3% increase, closing at INR 116.40 on the BSE.

Zomato Gold Loyalty program sees remarkable success with 38 Lakh members in just three quarters

Zomato, the foodtech giant, reported that its customer loyalty program, Zomato Gold, has attracted 3.8 million members in just three quarters since its launch in January this year.

In its shareholder letter, which accompanied the Q2 financial reports, Zomato further stated that Gold members are playing a pivotal role in propelling the expansion of its food delivery operations. The company disclosed that Zomato Gold orders currently account for approximately 40% of the gross order value (GOV) within the food delivery sector.

During the quarter ending in September 2023, Zomato’s gross order value (GOV) for food delivery amounted to INR 7,980 crore, with Gold members contributing INR 3,192 crore to this total.

Nonetheless, the company emphasized that a Gold order tends to be less profitable than a non-Gold order, primarily because of the influence of program perks. Zomato pointed out that the fees paid by Gold members are nearly negligible, largely owing to the complimentary delivery benefits.

The startup explained that the expenses associated with the Zomato Gold program are elevated, primarily due to increased delivery costs stemming from longer average delivery distances, the provision of priority service to members during peak hours, and the expenses incurred to honor the no-delay guarantee. The subscription fees collected from members only partially offset these additional costs.

“All of this results in Gold orders being meaningfully worse-off on contribution margin vis-à-vis non-Gold orders. However, that gap is starting to (and should continue to) narrow, driven by efficiencies across both pricing and cost of the program,” the company stated.

In the same period, food delivery gross order value (GOV) saw a 9% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) increase and a 20% year-on-year (YoY) growth. The company noted that demand for the service is rebounding effectively after the previous two quarters of FY23 experienced a slowdown.

The contribution margin for food delivery increased to 6.6% in the current quarter, up from 5.1% in Q3 FY23 (prior to the Gold relaunch).

Regarding platform fees, Zomato explained that it is implementing a fee ranging from INR 2 to INR 5 for each food delivery order with the aim of enhancing the sustainability and long-term viability of their economics.

Overall, in Q2, Zomato reported its second consecutive profitable quarter, demonstrating a PAT of INR 36 Cr. This followed its maiden profitable quarter in Q1 FY24, where its PAT stood at INR 2 Cr.

Foodtech giant Zomato has unveiled its second consecutive profitable quarter today, experiencing a remarkable surge in profit after tax, reaching INR 36 Crore during the September quarter of the financial year 2023-24 (FY24). This outstanding performance represents an 18-fold increase from the INR 2 Crore PAT in the preceding quarter.

It is important to highlight that Zomato achieved its first-ever profitable quarter in Q1 of FY24. In Q2 of FY23, the company incurred a net loss of INR 251 Crore.

Notably, Zomato recorded a profit before tax (PBT) of INR 21 Crore in Q2 of FY24, a significant turnaround from the INR 15 Crore loss in the preceding quarter.

Meanwhile, in Q2 FY24, Zomato announced a significant milestone with its quick commerce business Blinkit achieving positive contribution for the first time. This quarter, Blinkit marked a 1.3% contribution, a remarkable shift from the negative 7.3% recorded in Q2 FY23.

Zomato’s operating revenue surged to INR 2,848 Crore in the quarter under consideration, a significant increase from the INR 1,661 Crore reported in the corresponding quarter from the previous year.

Operating revenue also experienced an 18% increase, rising from INR 2,416 Crore in Q1 of FY24.

Zomato reported a significant year-on-year (YoY) increase of 47% in its gross order value (GOV), which reached INR 11,422 Crore in Q2 of FY24, reflecting positive growth across its various business verticals.

The company reported that the gross order value (GOV) for food delivery increased by 9% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) and 20% year-on-year (YoY) to INR 7,980 Crore. Zomato mentioned that the food delivery sector is steadily recovering from the demand slowdown observed during the last two quarters of FY23.

Zomato explained that the growth in gross order value (GOV) within its core food delivery vertical was primarily driven by an increase in order volumes, with minimal fluctuations in the average order value.

“Order volume growth is typically negatively impacted in this quarter due to lower delivery partner availability during rains. However, this year we were able to improve on that through better all-round execution,” Zomato said in its statement.

Another significant factor contributing to the growth of the gross order value (GOV) during the quarter was the expanding adoption of its Gold program.

The company reported a total of 3.8 million Gold members by the end of the September quarter, and these members accounted for nearly 40% of the gross order value (GOV) in its food delivery business. The platform had 2 million active Gold members as of June 2023.

Nevertheless, the contribution margin for its food delivery business increased from 6.4% in Q1 of FY24 to 6.6% in Q2 of FY24.

Zomato witnessed a positive shift in its consolidated adjusted EBITDA, which improved to INR 41 Crore in the current quarter, marking a significant turnaround from the INR 192 Crore loss in Q2 of FY23.

Zomato experienced a substantial year-on-year increase of over 45% and a sequential growth of 16.3% in its total expenses, reaching INR 3,039 Crore in Q2 of FY24.

In the current quarter, Zomato’s expenditure on purchasing stock-in-trade nearly doubled, reaching INR 685 Crore. Additionally, the company’s employee benefit expenses increased by 9.4% year-on-year, totaling INR 417 Crore.

During the preceding quarter, Q1 of FY24, Zomato allocated INR 338 Crore to employee benefit expenses.

At the same time, the company continued to allocate more funds to advertising and sales promotions, resulting in an 18.3% year-on-year increase, reaching INR 355 Crore.

Zomato witnessed a significant increase in its delivery and related expenses, more than doubling to INR 919 Crore in Q2 of FY24 compared to the previous year.

Zomato has observed that festivals have a more pronounced impact on driving growth in its quick commerce subsidiary, Blinkit, compared to its food delivery business. With significant festivals such as Navratri, Dussehra, and Diwali on the horizon in the December quarter, Zomato anticipates another robust growth period for Blinkit.

“The festive period in Q3 FY24 is usually a mixed bag for the food delivery business. While people order more around the festivals, at the same time, they also travel and eat-out more in this quarter,” it said.

Nevertheless, the company added that the ICC World Cup is likely to generate increased order volumes, although the surge in demand is anticipated to be concentrated on a few select match days.

Zomato’s shares closed today’s trading session at INR 116.4 on the BSE, marking an 8.3% increase.

Zomato’s CEO Deepinder Goyal sheds light on the company’s unconventional approach to recruitment

Deepinder Goyal, the Co-Founder and CEO of the prominent food technology company Zomato, recently disclosed the company’s approach to recruitment. During a recent conversation, he emphasized that Zomato does not hire individuals actively seeking job opportunities.

“The kind of workforce we hire is very different. Ideally, we don’t hire people who are looking for jobs. The kind of people we need, they don’t search for jobs,” Goyal explained during his discussion with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia on “The Ranveer Show.”

Furthermore, the Zomato CEO mentioned that the company actively seeks out talented individuals, initiates contact with them, and invests in their development, especially in the case of mid to senior-level recruitment.

Launched in 2010, Zomato’s technology platform seamlessly connects customers, restaurant partners, and delivery partners, catering to a wide range of needs. It empowers customers to search for and discover restaurants, share and read customer-generated reviews, upload and view photos, order food for delivery, make table reservations, and complete payments while dining at restaurants.

Conversely, restaurant partners are equipped with specialized marketing tools tailored to their industry, allowing them to actively engage and attract customers for business expansion. Simultaneously, they benefit from a dependable and efficient last-mile delivery service.

When discussing the Gen Z workforce, Goyal said they are noticeably smarter.

“GenZ’s are way smarter than we were at that age and the potential is huge, but they’ve less patience than us at that age. And patience is a virtue which is required at work,” he said.

When inquired about the company’s hiring practices as it progresses through various stages, Goyal stated, “It’s more advantageous to foster internal growth.”

“Zomato is 15 years old. We have enough people who are 5-6 years old in the system. In such a case, the context gets changed. If we were a two-year-old company, we had no choice but to get external hires but now if I have to bring someone from outside, either I have to be very sure that he’s really good or that he has a unique skill,” Goyal stated.

Expanding on the difficulties of external hires, he elaborated, “If I hire from outside, it will take six months to bring someone. First, you’ll interview for three months. Then he’ll have to serve three months’ notice period in his previous organisation. He’ll join in six months and there’ll be induction for three months. Then, after a year’s time you’ll know his performance. That way, you’ve lost two years.”

“It’s easier for me to pick someone from inside, spend three months to grow him/her and put him in that role. He/she knows the business and that works.”

Zomato Limited achieved its first-ever profitability milestone in the initial quarter of FY24. The company posted a consolidated profit after tax of INR 2 crore for the quarter ending June 2023, a significant turnaround from the INR 186 crore loss reported in the same period the previous year.

The company’s revenue from operations in the quarter reached INR 2,416 crore, marking an impressive year-on-year increase of nearly 71%, as compared to INR 1,414 crore in the corresponding period the previous year.
