Fintech major One97 Communications, the parent entity of Paytm, delivered a robust financial performance for the first quarter of FY27, backed by broad-based expansion across its payments, loan distribution, and financial services operations. The company reported a 28% year-on-year jump in consolidated revenue from operations to ₹2,448 crore, while operating EBITDA surged 182% YoY to a record ₹203 crore. Net profit (PAT) for the June quarter climbed 79% YoY to ₹220 crore, continuing its sustained trajectory of profitability driven by AI-powered operating leverage and disciplined cost management. Operational metrics remained strong, with Merchant Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) expanding 31% YoY to ₹7.1 lakh crore and deployment reaching 1.57 crore storefront devices nationwide. High-margin financial distribution revenues increased 45% YoY to ₹814 crore, boosted by scaling merchant loan distribution and consumer payment tailwinds. Alongside the earnings, Paytm’s board elected to shelve a proposed bonus share issue to retain capital for long-term strategic growth opportunities, including a fresh ₹100 crore investment into its Paytm Money wealth arm.
