In FY20, revenue from operations declined 18.6 percent YoY to Rs 855 crore, due to a reduction in revenue from the sale of services and lower gains on fair value changes. Revenue declined at a 6 percent CAGR during FY17-FY20.

Its profit declined 20.6 percent YoY to Rs 276.4 crore in FY20, due to reductions in revenue from the sale of services and lower net gains on fair value changes, partly offset by a decrease in scheme expenses and management fees, ICICI Direct said.

“PAT as percentage of revenue declined from 38 percent in FY17 to 31 percent in FY20, though in Q1FY21 has increased to 37 percent. Consequently, return on equity (RoE) declined from 18.5 percent in FY17 to 10 percent in FY20, which has increased to 3.6 percent (non-annualised) in Q1FY21,” the brokerage added.
