The announcement is a factual release of a conference call transcript. While the discussion touches upon business performance and strategy, it does not contain overwhelmingly positive or negative news, making it neutral.
ETERNAL LIMITED (formerly known as Zomato Limited) has released the transcript of its earnings conference call conducted on July 22, 2026. The transcript is available on the company's website.
The call featured management representatives including Albinder Singh Dhindsa (CEO), Akshant Goyal (CFO), and Kunal Swarup (Head, Corporate Development). During the call, management discussed various aspects of the business, including competitive intensity in the quick commerce sector, which they noted remains high but has become more predictable, primarily in the form of subsidies on products and delivery fees. They elaborated that pricing-led growth without a sustainable business model can lead to a systemic trap. The company highlighted that most of the growth in Blinkit is coming from existing cities and that the Average Order Value (AOV) is expected to remain range-bound, with growth driven more by order frequency.
Management also addressed the performance of Blinkit, noting that while AOV has seen a slight drop, it is largely due to changes in ordering patterns and competitive pricing. They expect AOVs to remain in a similar range, with potential increases during seasonal peaks like Q3. The company is focusing on order growth and maintaining profitable AOVs. Regarding food delivery, an increase in Monthly Transacting Users (MTUs) was attributed to both new customer acquisition and increased frequency. The company also provided an update on its Bistro business, indicating cautious expansion while focusing on improving operational efficiency and profitability.
Discussions also covered capital expenditure (capex) guidance, with a focus on longer-term investment trends rather than short-term fluctuations. The company clarified that capex per store is around ₹2.5 crore, with warehousing investments being lumpy. They also discussed their strategy for market expansion, emphasizing a focus on Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) to ensure healthy growth. The company's approach to customer value is distinct from peer discounting, focusing on sustainably lower product prices achieved through efficiency gains. Management expressed confidence in the continued improvement of margins, especially as competitive intensity becomes more predictable.
