At the same time, we remain committed to driving operational efficiency and leveraging our fixed cost base. This has helped us to expand margins while we continue to strategically reinvest in key growth areas across our platform."

We generated revenue of $245.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, an increase of 21.0% (25.6% in constant currency(1)) over revenue of $202.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase of 11.9% (16.2% in constant currency) in revenue from our air ticketing business, an increase of 16.9% (21.4% in constant currency) in revenue from our hotels and packages business, an increase of 40.8% (45.4% in constant currency) in revenue from our bus ticketing business, and an increase of 46.0% (51.6% in constant currency) in revenue from our others business, each as further described below.

Further, our Adjusted Margin % (defined as Adjusted Margin as a percentage of Gross Bookings) - Air ticketing decreased marginally to 6.2% in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as compared to 6.5% in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Other Income. Other income was $0.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and $0.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Service Cost. Service cost increased by 17.5% to $62.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 from $52.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the robust travel demand in India particularly in our packages business and an increase in $2.7 million in service cost related to our car booking business in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Personnel Expenses. Personnel expenses decreased by 1.2% to $42.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 from $43.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation costs in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by the annual wage increases effected in the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Marketing and sales promotion expenses increased by 33.2% to $42.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 from $31.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in variable costs and discretionary expenditures such as expenses on events and brand building initiatives in response to the robust travel demand in India in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense). Our income tax expense was $1.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as compared to income tax benefit of $123.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Adjusted Margin - Others includes customer inducement costs of $2.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 and $0.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, recorded as a reduction of revenue. The increase in revenue from our others business and Adjusted Margin - Others was primarily due to an increase in other travel services and marketing alliances primarily due to the robust travel demand in India in the year ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2024.
Other Income. Other income was $0.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 and $0.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2024.
Service Cost. Service cost increased by 27.6% to $274.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 from $215.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the robust travel demand particularly in our packages business in India and an increase of $23.1 million in service cost related to our car booking business in the year ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2024.
Personnel Expenses. Personnel expenses increased by 8.5% to $160.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 from $147.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the annual wage increases effected in the quarter ended June 30, 2024, partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation costs in the year ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2024.
Marketing and Sales Promotion Expenses. Marketing and sales promotion expenses increased by 34.1% to $165.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 from $123.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in variable costs and discretionary expenditures such as expenses on events and brand building initiatives in response to the robust travel demand in India in the year ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, we incurred customer inducement costs recorded as a reduction of revenue of $301.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 and $250.0 million in the year ended March 31, 2024.

Other operating expenses increased by 13.2% to $231.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 from $204.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in operating expenses, including distribution costs, payment gateway charges, website hosting charges and outsourcing expenses linked to an increase in bookings in the year ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by $10.0 million impairment provision for non-financial assets recorded and reported in the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Depreciation, Amortization and Impairment. Our depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses marginally decreased by 0.5% to $27.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 from $27.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2024.
Results from Operating Activities. As a result of the foregoing factors, our results from operating activities were a profit of $119.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 as compared to a profit of $65.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2024.

comparable IFRS measure "Results from operating activities", see "About Key Performance Indicators and Non-IFRS Measures" elsewhere in this release.
Net Finance Income (Costs). Our net finance cost was $3.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 as compared to net finance income of $27.7 million in the year ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a gain of $30.6 million due to the change in carrying value of our 2028 Notes, measured at amortized cost, in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and an increase in net foreign exchange loss of $5.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in unrealized foreign exchange losses resulting from translations of monetary assets and liabilities from U.S. dollars to Indian Rupees as at March 31, 2025 as compared to March 31, 2024, partially offset by an increase of $3.2 million in interest income on term deposits in the year ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2024.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense). Our income tax expense was $20.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2025 as compared to income tax benefit of $123.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2024. The income tax expense in the year ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to a net reversal of deferred tax assets, recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2024. We recognized deferred tax assets of $126.1 million on tax losses carried forward (including unabsorbed depreciation) and other temporary differences mainly related to share-based payments and employee benefits in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

About Key Performance Indicators and Non-IFRS Measures
We refer to certain non-IFRS measures in various places within this release, including "Adjusted Operating Profit", "Adjusted Net Profit ", "Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share" and constant currency results. Our key performance indicators are "Adjusted Margin" and "Adjusted Margin %" which are also non-IFRS measures referred to in various places within this release.
We evaluate our financial performance in each of our reportable segments based on our key performance indicators, Adjusted Margin and Adjusted Margin %, which are non-IFRS measures and segment profitability measures. Adjusted Margin represents IFRS revenue after adding back customer inducement costs in the nature of customer incentives, customer acquisition costs and loyalty program costs which are reported as a reduction of revenue and deducting the cost of procurement of services primarily relating to sales to customers where we act as the principal. Adjusted Margin % represents Adjusted Margin as a percentage of gross bookings.
As certain parts of our revenues are recognized on a "net" basis when we are acting as an agent, and other parts of our revenue are recognized on a "gross" basis when we are acting as the principal, we evaluate our financial performance in each of our reportable segments based on Adjusted Margin, which is a non-IFRS measure and a segment profitability measure, as we believe that Adjusted Margin reflects the value addition of the travel services that we provide to our customers. Income from packages, including income on airline tickets sold to customers as a part of tours and packages is accounted for on a "gross" basis as the Company controls the services before such services are transferred to travelers. Revenue from the packages business which is accounted for on a "gross" basis represents the total amount paid by customers for these travel services and products, while our cost of procuring the relevant services and products for sale to our customers in this business is classified as service cost.
We also refer to Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Profit and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share which are non-IFRS measures and most directly comparable to results from operating activities, profit for the period and diluted earnings per share for the period, respectively, each of which is an IFRS measure. We use financial measures that exclude share-based compensation costs, amortization of acquired intangibles, gain on change in carrying value of financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, impairment provision for non-financial assets, net change in financial liability relating to acquisitions, share of loss (profit) of equity-accounted investees, interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, and income tax expense (benefit) for our internal management reporting, budgeting and decision making purposes, including comparing our operating results to that of our competitors.
A limitation of using Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Profit and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share instead of results from operating activities, profit for the period and diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude a recurring cost, for example, share-based compensation. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information on the IFRS amounts excluded from Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Profit and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share. Because of varying available valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions that companies can use when adopting IFRS 2 "Share based payment," management believes that providing non-IFRS measures that exclude such expense allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies. In addition, reconciliations of IFRS measures to non-IFRS financial measures and operating results are included at the end of this release.
Constant currency results are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS and assume constant currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect during the comparable period in the prior period. Because the impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates may not provide an accurate baseline for analyzing trends in our business, management believes percentage growth in constant currency is an important metric for evaluating our operations. Constant currency is a non-IFRS measure and it should not be considered as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
We believe that our current calculations of Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Margin, Adjusted Margin % and change in constant currency represent a balanced approach to adjusting for the impact of certain discrete, unusual or non-cash items and other items such as customer inducement costs in the nature of customer incentives, customer acquisition costs and loyalty program costs, which we believe are representative of our operating results and provide useful information to investors and analysts. We believe that investors and analysts in our industry use these non-IFRS measures and key performance indicators to compare our company and our performance to that of our global peers.
However, the presentation of these non-IFRS measures and key performance indicators are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. These non-IFRS measures and key performance indicators may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to potential differences in the method of calculation.
