Paytm, a prominent financial services distribution company and mobile payments pioneer, disclosed its financial performance for the quarter ending June 2026 (Q1 FY 2027). During this period, the company achieved its highest-ever quarterly EBITDA, fueled by growth in both merchant and consumer segments, EBITDA margin expansion, and AI-driven operating leverage.
In Q1 FY27, Paytm saw a 28% year-on-year increase in operating revenue, reaching Rs 2,448 crore. Additionally, EBITDA surged by 182% year-on-year to a record Rs 203 crore, with the EBITDA margin expanding to 8%. The company’s profit after tax also rose significantly by 79% year-on-year to Rs 220 crore, as per its official statement.
Excluding the Payments Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) incentive, which was applicable until December 2025, Paytm’s operating revenue grew by 31% year-on-year on a comparable basis. Moreover, the EBITDA margin expanded by 7 percentage points year-on-year, showcasing the robustness of its core business.
Paytm experienced a notable acceleration in merchant Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), which increased by 31% year-on-year to Rs 7.1 lakh crore. This growth was primarily driven by strategic investments in product offerings, distribution channels, and services for device merchants, as well as the growing traction in the online merchant segment post the receipt of the online Payment Aggregator license last year.
