BlackBuck Limited has released the transcript of its Earnings Conference Call for Analysts and Investors, which was conducted on July 29, 2026, from 05:00 PM to 05:45 PM IST. The transcript is available on the company's website.
During the call, Mr. Rajesh Kumar Naidu Yabaji, Chairman, Managing Director, and CEO, reported a 38% year-on-year growth in total income for Q1 FY27. EBITDA saw a 23% year-on-year increase, reaching approximately ₹50 crore, while PAT grew by 25% year-on-year to ₹42 crore. Key performance indicators showed positive trends, with monthly average transacting customers growing 13% year-on-year to about 900,000. The Gross Transaction Value (GTV) of tolling increased by 16% year-on-year. Despite macro headwinds impacting logistics in April, the company saw a recovery in May and June, enabling strong results.
The company highlighted its strategy to disrupt and organize the trucking space by offering services like tolling, vehicle tracking, and fuel payments, all designed around the truck operator's lifecycle. The BlackBuck app continues to scale in engagement and user breadth, with daily usage hovering around 45 minutes. The company maintains a strong presence in trucking villages across the country.
Revenue from operations grew by 42% year-on-year, with net revenues growing 25% year-on-year. Contribution margin remained strong at 93%. Adjusted EBITDA grew 16% year-on-year to ₹55 crore. The sequential decline in PAT was attributed to a deferred tax asset recognized in the previous quarter.
The telematics business showed significant strength, with the highest number of new device sales recorded last quarter. Revenues from telematics devices, though recognized over 12 months, are expected to drive strong future profitability due to high contribution margins on renewals.
The growth business segment, particularly Super Loads, experienced accelerated revenue growth of 44% sequentially, driven by compounding in both Super Loads and Vehicle Finance. The Super Loads business is evolving into an AI-led operation, yielding productivity gains.
Regarding profitability, core businesses continue to deliver strong results, with operating leverage converting 60-85% of revenue growth into EBITDA. Investments in Super Loads are increasing, and Vehicle Finance is on track to converge into profitability by the end of the financial year.
In the Q&A session, management discussed the Super Loads business, currently present in 14 cities, and its investment phase. They noted that while the business is nascent, sequential growth has been strong, close to 50%. The macro headwinds in tolling have largely normalized, allowing for a return to normal modeling. Fueling business recovery is more cautious. Management views potential competition as a positive sign for industry growth and investment.
Transacting user base growth of 13% year-on-year is attributed to customer acquisition in tolling, telematics, and the marketplace platform. Usage time is primarily driven by high-frequency use cases like payments and telematics, rather than loads, which are infrequent. The Super Loads business, being in its early stages and limited to specific hubs, does not significantly impact overall usage metrics. Renewal rates for telematics devices stabilize in the high 70s to 80s over time, with higher-end products showing better renewal rates. AI implementation in workflows is enhancing productivity, particularly in Super Loads, where AI-enabled placements now account for 40-50% of loads, and in KYC processes, leading to significant headcount and cost reductions.
