Key highlights

  • Revenue from operations grew 24% year-on-year to ₹806 crore in Q2 FY27
  • Net profit surged 543.3% YoY and 96.9% sequentially to ₹38.6 crore

Operational Leverage and Margin Expansion

Pine Labs demonstrated strong operational leverage in the September quarter, as profit before tax reached ₹61.4 crore, up from ₹11.2 crore in the corresponding period last year. This growth was underpinned by a sharp rise in operating margins, which climbed to 7.4% from 4.9% in the preceding June quarter. The consolidated net profit of ₹38.6 crore represents a 96.9% sequential increase, reflecting improved monetization across digital transaction platforms.

These results follow management's earlier guidance on July 28, 2026, which targeted a contribution margin between 73% and 74% for the second half of the current fiscal year.

Digital Infrastructure and Transaction Growth

  • Platform Gross Transaction Value reached approximately $46.5 billion (₹4.45 lakh crore)
  • The company is on track to average ₹34,000-35,000 crore of monthly UPI GTV by FY28
  • Over 70% of Digital Checkout Point transactions are now running on the UPI framework
  • UPI GTV is primarily driven by tickets above ₹2,000, which account for 65% of the total
  • The Group successfully completed the 100% acquisition of Shopflo Technologies for ₹88 crore
