Pine Labs Limited has released the transcript of its Analysts/Investors conference call held on July 29, 2026. The call, which covered Q1 FY2027 earnings, featured insights from CEO Amrish Rau and Group CFO Sameer Kamath.
During the call, Mr. Rau highlighted a strong Q1 performance with a year-on-year growth of approximately 20%, aligning with the full-year guidance of 21-23.5%. He noted that while adjusted EBITDA showed strong performance, some forward-looking investments were made. The company is focusing on building a world-class fintech, expanding its payments infrastructure and flow-based services globally. Notably, Pine Labs has become the largest installment payments provider in Malaysia and is replicating this model in Singapore and Dubai.
Technological advancements were a key theme, with significant investments in AI, including AI-driven code generation and AI in call centers. The company demonstrated an end-to-end agentic payment transaction and is seeing traction in its online business, including partnerships with IRCTC, Zepto, and Lenskart.com.
On the offline front, UPI transactions constitute approximately 70% of all transactions on their POS devices, with an average ticket size exceeding ₹1400. The company is also seeing increased demand for full-screen devices and complex payment integrations.
Regarding financial performance, Mr. Rau addressed concerns about a dip in issuing and acquiring platform contribution margin, explaining it as an entry strategy for new markets and assuring that margins are expected to improve in the second half of the year. Investments in sales personnel, telecom, network infrastructure, and cloud capabilities have impacted EBITDA in the short term, but are viewed as necessary proactive measures for future growth.
The company also discussed its international business, emphasizing a focus on software and transaction processing rather than terminal deployment. Investments in AI and terminal management systems are ongoing, aimed at driving merchant stickiness and long-term revenue growth. Pine Labs expects continued growth in its core businesses, including terminal, online, bill payments, and flow-based income segments.
