OnMobile reports Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results

OnMobile Global Limited (“OnMobile”) today announced the results for Fourth Quarter FY2015 ended March 31, 2015. The revenues for the fiscal quarter declined by 5.6% q-o-q and 4.9% y-o-y. Excluding forex fluctuation and Voxmobili business, the revenue for Q4 2015 declined by 2.0% q-o-q and increased by 11% y-o-y. EBITDA margin is at 15.3% in Q4 as compared to 20.5% in Q3 and 11.4% in Q4 of FY2014. The Proforma EBITDA without the forex impact is INR 471 million at 21.2% and the operating profit is INR 113 million at 5.1%. For the full year FY2015, the revenue was INR 8,319 million (excluding Voxmobili business) – a growth of 5.7% over FY2014.

Mr. Rajiv Pancholy, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, OnMobile Global said, “Despite the obvious impact of adverse currency movement diluting our quarter over quarter performance, we are buoyed by the fact that we continue to seize new opportunities, and are increasing the effort on new product development and initiatives. Some of these new initiatives are planned to be deployed with our customers in this financial year.

“On a KPI basis, we were able to achieve the EBITDA margin guidance that we had provided for the year. However the forex impact has put us back by a few margin points and with the currencies retreating partially, we expect some recovery in near future”, said Mr. Praveen Kumar, Chief Financial Officer, OnMobile Global.
