Key Performance Highlights
- Propel margins surged due to strong performance from Greenedge as well as overriding commissions received in the quarter
- Incentive & Cashback as a percentage of revenue stood at approximately 66.3%, showing optimization from 69% during Q4 FY26
EBITDA Margin Reduction Drivers
The 190 basis point compression in EBITDA margin was attributed to five specific factors:
1. Expenses related to the Dice acquisition including transaction costs, one-time vendor payments, and relocation expenses for 100+ professionals
2. Revenue from Dice contracts was not captured in Q1 FY27 and will start reflecting from Q2 FY27 onwards
3. Moderated push of expenses into the P&L which were earlier capitalized
4. Increments for existing employees
5. Added employee costs and other expenses from the acquisition of Zagg.Money
