Former Shark Tank India judge Ghazal Alagh-led Mamaearth parent Honasa Consumer Ltd has reported a significant 58.3% growth in its revenue for FY23, reaching Rs 1,493 crore, up from Rs 943 crore in FY22.
However, despite the revenue surge, the company's profits took a massive hit. Net loss for FY23 stood at Rs 151 crore, a stark contrast to the Rs 14.4 crore profit it registered in the previous fiscal year.
A closer look at the company's financials reveals that advertising remains a major expense, accounting for 35.3% of the total expenditure. The advertising costs alone amounted to Rs 530 crore in FY23, marking a 35.5% increase from the previous year.
An exceptional loss of Rs 155 crore was reported in FY23 due to the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. The loss is primarily attributed to the acquisition of Momspresso, where Mamaearth paid Rs 136 crore for "goodwill arising on acquisition."
The financial report comes amidst Mamaearth's gearing up for its Initial Public Offering (IPO) which is set to launch on October 31, 2023.
The IPO comprises a fresh issuance of shares worth Rs 365 crore, and an offer-for-sale (OFS) of 4.12 crore equity shares by promoters and investors, the IPO papers revealed.
Varun Alagh, Ghazal Alagh, Fireside Ventures Fund, Sofina, Stellaris, Kunal Bahl, Rishabh Harsh Mariwala, Rohit Kumar Bansal, and Shilpa Shetty Kundra are the selling shareholders in the OFS.
