Analysis · MMYT · Energy & Transportation
MakeMyTrip reported a mixed third quarter, demonstrating robust operational growth across key segments while experiencing a significant decline in IFRS net profit. The company's revenue increased by 15.4% year-over-year in constant currency, driven by strong performance in Hotels and Packages, Bus Ticketing, and Other services. Adjusted Operating Profit and Adjusted Net Profit also saw healthy double-digit growth, indicating underlying business strength. However, IFRS profit for the period plummeted by 73.1% and diluted EPS by 73.9%, primarily due to a substantial increase in net finance costs, largely from interest expense on convertible senior notes. Investors should note the divergence between IFRS and non-IFRS profitability, with the latter reflecting the core operational performance. The company's share repurchase activity also signals management confidence.
