IndiaMART share drops 6% on lower subscriber additions in Q1

IndiaMART InterMESH shares fell more than 6% on Wednesday, despite excellent profit expansion in the June quarter.

IndiaMART added only 1,519  paid subscribers between April and June, compared to 2,683 in March. IndiaMART revealed these details after the market closed on Tuesday, while the results were released during market hours. The company’s shares rose about 4% on Tuesday, boosted by the margin expansion.

IndiaMART’s EBITDA margin climbed to 36% from 28.1% in the March quarter, driven by the regular seasonal rise, headcount additions during the end of the quarter and a dramatic reduction in S&M spending.

The management expects a 300 basis point margin impact because the majority of the hiring was done in June and July.

IndiaMART shares were down 6.18% at Rs 2,957.55 on the NSE as of 11:25 AM.
