Q&A highlights
Management's answers to analyst questions, in Parakho's words rather than a transcript. Each row names who answered and carries the verbatim quote it was drawn from.
Sajal Gupta explained this is due to the Virar JDA structure where costs are already incurred and revenue share plus security deposit yield high margins, skewing the mass market segment mix.
Answered by Sajal Gupta
Asked by Harsh Pathak: Why are embedded EBITDA margins in the mass market segment higher than in super premium/premium segments?
p. 7
“What we get is a revenue share and a security deposit. And as a result, we have about 60% margins, which comes to us net of the approval cost that we have already or a good part of the approval cost that we have already incurred.”

Sajal Gupta said the gross debt-to-equity guidance has been raised over time and net debt is expected to move into positive territory as cash gets deployed rather than held.
Answered by Sajal Gupta
Asked by Harsh Pathak: After many quarters of being net cash, why has net debt been reported, and what is the outlook?
p. 8
“Net debt at some point over time is bound to go into the positive territory. It may not be appropriate for us to hold the large amount of our cash, and we are into a business wherein deploying the cash makes much sense than holding it back.”
