Eternal Ltd Q4 Results 2025 Live: Blinkit Hits Net Profits

This drop in profit is mainly because the company is spending a lot of money on expanding Blinkit, its quick delivery service. The company is also facing higher costs to maintain and improve its infrastructure.

Akshant Goyal, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Eternal Ltd, said that the company's overall earnings before interest, taxes, and other expenses (Adjusted EBITDA) dropped by 15% to Rs 165 crore compared to the same period last year. This was mainly because of the money being spent on opening more Blinkit stores. Despite this, the profit margin for food delivery services improved a bit, going up from 3.8% last year to 5.2%.

Albinder Dhindsa, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Eternal's quick-commerce platform Blinkit, mentioned that they opened a record number of new stores in the last quarter, with 294 new stores added. This is the highest number of stores opened in a single quarter. However, about 40% of the total 1,301 stores they have are still new and not fully used yet.

"We added 294 net new stores in Q4FY25, making it our highest-ever net store addition in a single quarter. As a result, ~40% of our overall network of 1,301 stores are underutilized stores, opened in the last two quarters alone (216 in Q3FY25 and 294 in Q4FY25). We also added 1 million sq ft of new warehousing space to support the store expansion. Despite that, the contribution margin increased from 3.8% to 3.9% of net order value," announced Blinkit CEO Dhindsa.

To support the expansion, Eternal also added one million square feet of new warehouse space. Even though the company is spending a lot on growth, their profit margin (the percentage of profit from each sale) only slightly increased from 3.8% to 3.9%.
