Used car retailer Spinny has demonstrated a steady growth in the last fiscal year with a firm control on its losses. The firm’s revenue from operations grew 14.3% whereas its losses shrank 28% in this period.
Spinny’s revenue from operations increased to Rs 3,725.02 crore in FY24 from Rs 3,259.78 crore in FY23, the company’s annual filings filed with the Registrar of Companies show. The firm draws revenue majorly from vehicle sales, fees from value-added services like registration and insurance assistance, and platform fees.
Caveat: Spinny revised its revenue recognition approach, including cash-and-carry sales instead of only commission from marketplace transactions in FY23. This change led to operating revenue rising to Rs 3,262 crore in FY23. Now, Spinny’s revenue reflects vehicle sale prices, while the purchase cost of its stock cars is listed under expenses.
The company’s other income including interest and rental income, contributed Rs 96.84 crore, taking the total revenue to more than Rs 3,800 crore. However, there was a 19.9% decline in other income as it didn’t raise capital since November 2021.
