Question 1:
"The question that I had was to simply get a sense of the competitive intensity in the space... It appears we may have grown slower compared to competition... It would be great to get your inputs as to why is that happening... And the second question was with regards to... promoter/company interest in... GoAir."
Answer Summary:
Growth was slower due to deliberate reduction in discounts (3.8% to 3%) to prioritize profitability, even as competitors invested heavily in discounts. Non-air segments like hotels and Dubai operations are key growth drivers. Regarding GoAir, Nishant Pitti's involvement is personal, unrelated to EaseMyTrip, and no company equity will fund it. Promoters clarified no further equity sales in FY2025.
Question 2:
"From the results... GBR is not growing... How do we see the future... FY2025 and FY2026?... What is the reason behind equity dilution via bonus issues?"
Answer Summary:
Growth is muted in India's air segment due to discount-driven competition, but non-air segments (hotels, Dubai) and partnerships are prioritized. FY2026 targets 25% revenue from non-air segments. Bonus issuance was a Board decision for liquidity, with feedback noted. Promoters retain over 50% stake, aligning interests with shareholders.
Question 3:
"The Dubai office has shown a remarkable increase in GBR... How sustainable is it?... How are partnerships with OLX and CARS24 contributing?"
Answer Summary:
Dubai's 227% YoY growth stems from untapped market opportunities and cyclical efficiency improvements. Growth is sustainable with strategic expansions. Partnerships with OLX (35M monthly users) and CARS24 (travel vouchers/car giveaways) aim to boost user engagement and revenue through cross-platform integration.
Question 4:
"How are you filling the management gap created by the elimination of Nishant?... [He] resigned from his position... How do you square that?"
Answer Summary:
Nishant remains active as Chairman, focusing on international expansion, while Rikant Pitti leads as CEO. Management emphasized continuity with professional CXOs handling operations. Promoter stakes (50%+) ensure alignment with shareholder interests.
Question 5:
"My question is related to the buses... manufacturing of buses... when will that be implemented?"
Answer Summary:
EV bus manufacturing is delayed and will require "a few more quarters" to operationalize, with no specific timeline provided. The initiative remains part of long-term diversification efforts.
Balance Sheet: Strong Balance Sheet.
Profitability: Recent profitability of 13% is a good sign.
Buy Backs: Company has bought back it's stock in the past which is a good thing.
Technicals: SharesGuru indicator is Bearish.
Momentum: Stock has a weak negative price momentum.
