API Holding Ltd, the parent company of digital pharmacy firm Pharmeasy, posted Rs 6,643.9 crore in revenue from operations for FY23, a 16% jump compared with a year ago when it posted Rs 5,728.8 crore.

However, the company's loss ballooned 30% to Rs 5,211.7 crore in the financial year ended March 2023 compared with Rs 3,992.4 crore in FY22.

The Mumbai-based company's total expenses rose marginally to Rs 8,974 crore from Rs 8,591.5 crore a year ago. Purchase of stock-in-trade accounted for the largest expense, amounting to Rs 5,512 crore, followed by employee benefit expense which amounted to Rs 1,283 crore—at a decline of 12% YoY.

The company had set a goal to achieve profitability in April 2023, and it has managed to hit a positive EBITDA for the first six months of FY24 put together, said Dharmil Sheth, Co-founder of API Holdings, in a LinkedIn post.

In September last year, PharmEasy launched a rights issue worth Rs 3,500 crore, which was oversubscribed, the top executive confirmed. As a result, Ranjan Pai emerged as the largest shareholder within the company.

Earlier today, the Competition Commission of India approved the proposals of South Africa-based Naspers group and Singapore's sovereign wealth fund Temasek to purchase stakes in PharmEasy.

API Holdings, through its subsidiaries including PharmEasy and Thyrocare, provides healthcare services solutions.
