Online travel aggregator EaseMyTrip has reported a consolidated net profit of INR 13.9 crore for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2024-25 (Q4 FY25), marking a strong turnaround from a net loss of INR 15.1 crore in the same quarter last year. The loss in Q4 FY24 was primarily due to a one-time expense of INR 72.4 crore, which had negatively impacted the company’s bottom line.
Despite the year-over-year improvement in profitability, EaseMyTrip’s Q4 FY25 net profit saw a significant sequential decline of over 59% from INR 34 crore posted in the preceding quarter (Q3 FY25). The drop in profit reflects ongoing pressures on the travel industry, particularly as the company saw a decrease in operating revenue.

Revenue Slips in Q4 FY25
EaseMyTrip’s operating revenue for Q4 FY25 stood at INR 139.5 crore, registering a 15% decline from INR 164 crore in Q4 FY24. On a sequential basis, the revenue dropped 7.4% compared to INR 150.6 crore reported in Q3 FY25. The decline in revenue could be attributed to lower demand in the post-holiday travel season, increased competition, or shifting consumer preferences in the travel booking segment.
FY25: Profit Rises Despite Revenue Pressure
For the full fiscal year FY25, EaseMyTrip posted a consolidated net profit of INR 108.7 crore, an increase of 5% compared to INR 103.5 crore reported in FY24. The growth in annual profit came even as the company experienced a slight dip in operating revenue, which declined marginally to INR 587.3 crore from INR 590.6 crore in the previous fiscal year.
The modest growth in annual profit highlights the company’s focus on improving cost efficiencies and maintaining profitability in a highly competitive and dynamic market environment. This comes even as revenue growth remained muted, possibly impacted by macroeconomic conditions, rising travel costs, or changing consumer behavior.
Strategic Focus and Outlook
EaseMyTrip has been making efforts to diversify its offerings and enter new markets to offset industry headwinds. With increasing digital penetration and travel demand rebounding post-COVID, the company continues to capitalize on online booking trends. However, maintaining profitability amid declining revenues will likely remain a key challenge.
Moving forward, the company may focus on cost optimization, technological upgrades, and customer acquisition to sustain growth. Investors and stakeholders will be watching closely how the company navigates competitive pressures from other online travel aggregators and whether it can return to consistent revenue growth.
Conclusion
EaseMyTrip’s Q4 FY25 results show a notable recovery from the previous year’s loss, though the sequential drop in profit and revenue signals caution. For FY25, the company’s ability to post a profit increase despite flat revenue performance is commendable, showcasing operational resilience. As the travel industry continues to evolve, EaseMyTrip’s strategic moves and financial discipline will play a crucial role in shaping its long-term success.
