Break even situation will be made by 2023
According to Jefferies, Zomato’s revenue is expected to grow at a compounded annual rate of 45 per cent by FY 2021-FY 2026, driven by rapid growth in food delivery and growth in other segments. Zomato is currently incurring business losses but Jefferies estimates that by the financial year 2025-26, there may be a situation of EBITDA break even. According to the brokerage firm, if the focus of Zomato remains on growth, then profits will increase. According to Jefferies, the EBITDA of the company is estimated to be Rs 800-1100 crore in the current financial year / post-Corona epidemic and in this the break-even situation may come by FY 025-26.
Break-even is the state in which there is no profit and no loss for the company. However, according to Jefferies, the PBT (Profit Before Tax) break-even may happen earlier due to the high availability of cash. According to Jefferies, there is a cash of $ 200 million (Rs 14.88 thousand crore) in Zomato’s book. The company operates on an asset-light model and has low working capital and capital expenditure requirements.

According to brokerage and research firm Jefferies, Zomato can invest the cash available with it aggressively.
