Pine Labs Posts 18% Rise in Revenue to ₹650 Crore

EBITDA Jumps 62%, Margins Expand to 19%

The company reported Adjusted EBITDA of ₹122 crore, rising 62% from the previous year. EBITDA margins widened significantly from 14% to 19%, supported by faster growth in higher-margin segments and disciplined control over employee expenses.

The profit after tax shifted positively by ₹38 crore, swinging from a loss of ₹32 crore in Q2 FY25 to a net profit of ₹6 crore for the quarter, helped by reduced depreciation and ESOP costs.
