Paytm posted a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹930 crore, largely due to a one-time exceptional gain of ₹1,345 crore from the sale of its entertainment ticketing business.

The company’s core businesses of payments and financial services distribution continued to drive growth. Payments revenue increased by 9 per cent QoQ to ₹981 crore, while revenue from financial services surged 34 per cent to ₹376 crore. Paytm also made strides in reducing costs, with indirect expenses down by 17 per cent QoQ, driven by lower employee costs and marketing expenses.

In a key development, Paytm announced the adoption of the Default Loss Guarantee (DLG) model for merchant loans, signalling increased demand from merchants and higher confidence from lending partners. This model is expected to expand lending partnerships and boost loan disbursements.

“There is increased interest and comfort from existing as well as new lenders to expand the partnership due to better asset quality trends and higher demand from our merchants. Following the regulatory framework, and the emerging market practice, we see increased willingness from lenders to partner and allocate more capital in the Default Loss Guarantee (DLG) model. DLG model will help to increase disbursements with the existing partners and expand partnership with new lenders for the loan distribution,” said the company in its earnings release.

Paytm closed the quarter with a strong cash balance of ₹9,999 crore, further enhancing its financial position.
