I now hand over the conference to Mr. Kapil Makhija, Managing Director and CEO of Unicommerce eSolutions Limited.

Thank you, and over to you, sir.

Kapil Makhija

Thanks, Pari. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for the quarter three and nine months FY26 earnings call.

I am joined today by Anurag Mittal, our Chief Financial Officer, along with our investor relations advisors, Strategic Growth Advisors. We are pleased to announce another quarter of strong growth in revenues and profits in Q3 FY26.

Our revenue stood at INR 56.4 crores, growing 72.2% year-on-year and translating into an annualized revenue run rate exceeding INR 225 crores. This growth was driven by continued enterprise additions, structured revenue expansion initiatives within Uniware, and growing scale of Shipway.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter stood at INR 13.4 crores, growing 51% year-on-year. This corresponds to an annualized adjusted EBITDA run rate of more than INR 53 crores, marking another milestone for the company.

This improvement reflects operating leverage inherent in our SaaS model as revenues scale, combined with disciplined cost management. Before discussing platform-specific updates, I'd like to share our progress on integrating AI in our business.

Since the last few quarters, our AI journey has progressed in phases. We began by integrating AI into our internal day-to-day operations, then introduced AI-enabled features across platforms, and are now becoming AI-first, where core platform functionalities are delivered through AI.

Given that our platforms function as the system of record for our clients' e-commerce operations, AI in general is a boon for solution like ours. It allows operational data to become actionable, strengthens decision-making, and further deepens our integration within our clients' technology stack and daily operations.

We've launched three core AI capabilities in the last two quarters: Catalyst AI voice agent for Convertway in quarter three, Unibot AI assistant for Uniware, also in quarter three, and ShipSense AI courier allocation in quarter two. Catalyst AI voice agent enables automated human-like outbound calls in multiple languages.

For example, it can proactively engage customers who abandoned transactions at checkout by calling them and resolving queries in real time, helping close sales without any human intervention. This expands conversational commerce in a scalable manner.

We will play a brief audio demonstration at the end of our remarks. Unibot AI assistant is a GenAI solution.

It acts as an e-commerce operations copilot that allows Uniware clients to execute warehouse actions through simple multilingual text prompts. Tasks such as order processing, shipping label generation, inventory checks, and operational queries can now be completed through conversational inputs.

This increases ease of use of our platform, reduces training time, and simplifies daily workflows for our users. ShipSense AI enables intelligent courier allocation within Shipway.

It optimizes courier selection by balancing cost, delivery timelines, and the probability of pre-delivery returns due to delays. This improves both logistics efficiency and end-customer experience.

These initiatives strengthen our product differentiation while expanding monetization avenues across our platforms. Now coming to key updates for our platforms.

Uniware resumed growth momentum in quarter three FY26, delivering 8.1% year-on-year revenue growth on a standalone basis. While consumer demand showed partial improvement during the quarter, the primary drivers for this growth were internal initiatives executed over the past few quarters.

These include continued enterprise acquisitions and structured revenue expansion programs through launch of new products, positioning the business for stronger double-digit growth beginning quarter four FY26 onwards. We added more than 110 enterprise clients across traditional and digital-first brands during the quarter, including the likes of Action Tesa, Lehar Footwear, Interio by Godrej, Shein marketplace, and Underneath.

Revenue expansion initiatives continue to gain traction, supported by rising adoption of our newer offerings. Quick commerce and B2B modules are now used by 35% to 40% of our enterprise clients, and UniReco adoption is 4% to 5% among enterprise clients within the first six months of the launch of the product.

UniCapture, launched last quarter, has seen strong interest driven by evolving marketplace requirements for mandatory video-based proof in return claims. Some marketplaces have already made this a mandate, while others are considering doing the same.

We would also like to share an important update about our top 10 clients. During the quarter, one of our top 10 clients made a strategic decision to change its business model and discontinue its multichannel operations.

As a result, we saw a revenue impact from this account. While such transitions are a part of the dynamic e-commerce ecosystem, our endeavor has been to continue to diversify our revenue by adding new enterprise clients.

As a result of which, our concentration of revenue from top 10 clients is nearly 12% in Q3 FY26 and has been continuously coming down from 19% in FY25 and nearly 27% in FY24. The impact of this change has been fully offset through growth from other existing clients as well as new enterprise additions.

The 8.1% year-on-year growth reported for the quarter is after absorbing this revenue loss. Excluding this impact, growth would have been higher.

We expect the growth momentum to continue in the coming quarters and should result in double-digit growth in revenues from quarter four FY26 onwards. Additionally, over the past few quarters, we have received several queries regarding Uniware transaction rate, which is calculated as revenue divided by transactions processed.

As our product mix has diversified with increasing contributions from B2B, quick commerce, and value-added modules, the aggregated transaction rate metric has become less representative of underlying performance compared to earlier periods when the mix was more homogeneous. Accordingly, we do not believe that this is a high-quality metric to track our performance.

Instead, we internally evaluate Uniware's business using three primary levers: net revenue retention, which we disclose annually, to track expansion within the existing client base; enterprise client additions, which we disclose quarterly, to measure incremental growth through new customer acquisitions; and our profitability metrics, which we disclose quarterly, to track our efficiency and operating leverage. With that context, we will discontinue reporting transaction-related metrics going forward.

This approach is intended to ensure that the data shared is meaningful, comparable, and aligned with how we internally evaluate the business. Similarly, blended gross margin at the consolidated level is influenced by revenue amalgamation across businesses post-Shipway acquisition and does not fully reflect our operating profile.

We will continue to assess the relevance of this disclosure in light of our evolving business mix and determine the appropriate reporting approach going forward. Now coming to Shipway.

Shipway continues to strengthen our SaaS portfolio and scale steadily post-acquisition. In quarter three FY26, Shipway Technology Private Limited, which includes both Shipway and Convertway, achieved an annualized revenue run rate of approximately INR 100 crores compared to INR 71 crores in quarter one FY25, its first full quarter post-acquisition.

We expect Shipway to also grow at a double-digit rate on a year-on-year basis, but at a pace faster than Uniware, given the size of the addressable market and its low penetration relative to the market. Shipway's SaaS logistics automation platform delivers value to clients beyond aggregation through optimization, automation, and analytics across the logistics lifecycle for a brand and its customers.

During the quarter, we launched a new mobile application to support operational workflows on the move, and Shipway Cargo for bulky B2B shipments, warehouse transfers, and delivery to quick commerce mother hub facilities from brand warehouses, enabling incremental revenue opportunities. For Convertway, we have already discussed the key update for the AI voice bot this quarter.

Given the large and underpenetrated addressable market and Shipway and Convertway's strong structural foundations of running profitably for the last few quarters, we are inclined towards making calibrated investments going forward. Given our healthy cash generation and balance sheet strength, we plan to invest in AI, product, and technology, and to expand sales and marketing capacity along with brand building in these businesses.

While this may result in slightly below breakeven adjusted EBITDA in the short term in Shipway Technologies Private Limited, we believe these will be high-ROI investments, supporting faster platform scaling and long-term value creation. On the leadership front, we are pleased to welcome Gaurav Juneja as Chief Revenue Officer for Unicommerce to further strengthen our business development, marketing, and customer success functions for driving growth.

Gaurav brings an operator-led approach with deep experience in B2B SaaS, technology, and retail businesses. Prior to joining Unicommerce, he served as Chief Revenue Officer at Capillary, Head of Digitization at Google India, and founded and scaled the Starquik business under the Tata Group.

He also has experience with Reliance Retail and investment banking at Lehman Brothers. Gaurav is an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow.

He further strengthens the leadership depth at Unicommerce and adds to our management bandwidth for go-to-market execution. Looking ahead, we expect to continue benefiting from structural tailwinds in India's e-commerce market, which remains significantly underpenetrated.

Across Uniware, Shipway, and Convertway, we address a total market opportunity of over $1 billion with particularly strong opportunities in courier aggregations through Shipway. Over the coming quarters, management will remain focused on scaling Uniware revenues as growth momentum increases, accelerating Shipway's penetration in courier aggregation and Convertway's growth in marketing automation, along with disciplined investments in AI capabilities and improving our platforms that expand use cases and drive cross-sell.

Improving profitability and cash generation provides flexibility to reinvest in organic growth while selectively evaluating inorganic opportunities in adjacent areas, guided by strategic fit, customer value, and financial sustainability. As we enter the next phase of growth, our focus remains on consistent execution, prudent capital allocation, and strengthening our platform.

I will now hand over to Anurag to walk you through the financials in detail.

Anurag Mittal

Thank you, Kapil. Good morning, everyone.

We delivered a strong performance in quarter three and the nine months of FY26, with robust top-line momentum and continued improvement in operating profitability. For quarter three FY26, consolidated revenue stood at 56.4 crore, representing year-on-year growth of 72.2%.

This performance was supported by growth across both Uniware and Shipway. Adjusted EBITDA, which reflects our operational profitability, grew by 51% year-over-year to 13.4 crore.

The growth in adjusted EBITDA was driven by disciplined cost management, AI-led operational efficiencies, strong operating leverage from Uniware, and Shipway's continued PAT-positive performance. Profit after tax for the quarter was 7.4 crore compared to 6.3 crore in quarter three FY25.

Excluding the non-cash amortization expense related to the Shipway acquisition, PAT would have been approximately 8.2 crore, representing year-on-year growth of 24.9%. Earnings per share also increased 12.5% year-on-year to 0.63 from 0.56 in quarter three FY25.

On a nine-monthly basis, the company delivered strong financial performance. Our consolidated revenue for nine months FY26 grew 70.6% year-over-year to 152.7 crore compared to 89.5 crore in nine months FY25.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 75.8% year-on-year to 34.3 crore, surpassing FY25 full year's adjusted EBITDA of 28.4 crore in just nine months, reflecting disciplined cost management and scale efficiencies. Profit after tax for nine-month period was 17.1 crore compared to 14.3 crore in nine months FY25.

Excluding non-cash amortization related to the Shipway acquisition, PAT would have been approximately 21.1 crore, representing year-on-year growth of 45.2%. Earnings per share also increased 18.1% year-on-year to 1.50 in nine months FY26 from 1.27 in nine months FY25.

Shipway has continued to deliver strong performance, achieving an annualized revenue run rate of approximately 100 crore in quarter three FY26, up from 71 crore in quarter four FY25, its first full quarter post-acquisition. As Kapil mentioned earlier, we plan to increase investments in AI product and technology capabilities and sales and marketing capacity, along with brand building to drive further growth.

We expect these investments to help increase the platform scale and broaden our market footprint over time. At the consolidated level, annualized revenue run rate now exceeds 225 crore with adjusted EBITDA run rate above 53 crore.

A large part of our adjusted EBITDA converts into operating cash flows for us, due to the asset-light nature of our SaaS model, and enables us to reinvest this into growth. Looking ahead, we remain focused on maintaining cost discipline while delivering sustainable and profitable growth.

As mentioned earlier, we expect Uniware to deliver double-digit growth from quarter four FY26 onwards as revenue expansion initiatives gain traction. While Shipway, given its large addressable market and early stage of penetration, has the potential to scale at a relatively faster pace.

We will now play a short audio clip to demonstrate Convertway's AI voice bot capabilities. For context, in this recording, Tanvi is the customer, and the other voice you will hear is our AI system engaging with her in real time.

Hello? Am I talking to Tanvi?

Yes. Hi Tanvi, this is Pooja from Hair Restore.

I noticed that you added anti-dandruff shampoo in the cart, but couldn't complete the payment. Just wanted to check if you'd like any help with the same?

I actually couldn't figure out how do I use the product. Oh, I see.

Let me help you with that. Here's how you can use the anti-dandruff shampoo: spray from about 8 to 10 inches away, focusing on the root.

After that, spray generously on the crown area for volume and bounce. Next, massage the product into your roots for about 30 seconds and then use a brush to get rid of any leftover white particles.

Finally, style your hair as you like, and you're all set. Par ye product hai kitne ka?

Ye product ki keemat ₹799 hai. Ye thoda sa expensive hai.

Kya hum abhi koi discount run kar rahe hain is product par? Ji haan, abhi ek special discount chal raha hai.

Agar aap aaj hi check out karenge, toh aapko 12% ka discount milega. Iska matlab hai ki aapka final price sirf ₹703 hoga.

Kya main aapko checkout link bhej doon? Yes, you can send me the checkout link.

Great! I'm sending the checkout link to your number right now.

You'll be able to complete everything in just a few taps from there. Thanks for talking to me.

Anurag Mittal

As you've heard, the interaction is designed to feel natural, contextual, and outcome-oriented. Since launch, the voice bot has scaled quickly to approximately 1 lakh calls per month, reflecting encouraging client interest.

We hope you found the demonstration insightful. With that, we will open the floor for questions.

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you very much, sir. We will now begin the question and answer session.

Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one on their touch-tone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two.

Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles.

The first question is from the line of Ananya from Thinkwise Wealth Managers. Please proceed.

Ananya Nichani

Good morning, sir. My first question is on account of pricing, actually.

I wanted to check if maybe this is the bottoming out of a low-pricing environment. Also, if you are able to share what percentage of the current clients are newly added clients and if they are on the minimum guarantee plans.

That's my first question.

Kapil Makhija

Ananya, I couldn't hear the questions completely. I'll just rephrase on what I understood.

One, you want to understand the trajectory of rate per transaction. Second, you mentioned that how many of them are newly added clients.

Ananya Nichani

Yes.

Kapil Makhija

Is that correct?

Ananya Nichani

Yeah.

Kapil Makhija

Okay. As you mentioned during our speech that the transaction rate is calculated as revenue per transaction, and our transaction mix has become a lot more heterogeneous with addition of capabilities of B2B, quick commerce, and the new modules that we are launching.

It does not accurately represent the progress of the business because our rate per transaction is a function of the product mix as well as the client mix. We don't feel that it's the most meaningful way to assess the business.

Having said that, the rate per transaction has been consistent since last quarter, and while the number appears to be stable, it does not truly reflect the two drivers of growth or expansion. In terms of your question on the new acquisition, we've been talking about our new client acquisition since post-listing.

When we listed, the first quarter, we added about 85-odd enterprise clients in a quarter. Today, we are on a trajectory of anywhere between 110 to 120 clients per quarter.

We've seen a consistent improvement in the new client being added. From that, you can get a sense of what the share of new clients as a percentage of the overall client base.

Also, I want to clarify to all the listeners today that all the enterprise clients that we onboard are on an minimum guarantee plan. Every enterprise client give us a subscription fees in which we bundle certain number of transactions in this cost, and once they exhaust this quota of allotted transactions, they pay us a usage-based fees.

Hope that clarifies.

Ananya Nichani

Sure, sir. I just had one more bookkeeping question.

Sir, in Q2, in the stock arm mentioned that about 7.81 crore of amortization for Shipway was done for the half year. I can see for Q3 notes also for the nine months a similar amount is done.

Am I to understand that for Q3, nothing has been amortized? Could you just confirm?

Yeah.

Kapil Makhija

Ananya, the amortization has been done. In fact, the amortization has been done this quarter as well for the Shipway technology what we acquired at a time of acquisition.

It is similar and consistent to the previous quarters. In fact, the number is almost same to what we reported in quarter two of FY26.

Ananya Nichani

Sir, can you just confirm how much has been amortized in Q3 and how much was done in Q2?

Kapil Makhija

Quarter two it was 13 million and quarter three it is 12.8 million, almost similar.

Ananya Nichani

Sir, for the full year 13 crores is what we have to amortize, right? Shouldn't it be at the run rate of about more than 3 crores per quarter?

Kapil Makhija

The overall capitalization we did around 39 crores at a time of acquisition, and it has to be amortized over a period of 8 years. Near about 12 or 13 million of amortization spend will come every quarter.

Ananya Nichani

It's over 8 years, sir, just to confirm?

Kapil Makhija

That's correct. Yeah.

Ananya Nichani

Okay.

Kapil Makhija

Just to give you a context, while we integrated our internally generated technology, which is more advanced technology based on AI, with the Shipway acquired technology, the estimated useful life of the asset, based on the technical assessments, have increased from 3 years to 8 years. That is the reason the estimated useful life of the asset is now 8 years, and the depreciation expense for quarter would be around 13 million every quarter.

Ananya Nichani

Sir. That clears it up.

Thank you so much.

Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, to ask a question, please press star and one now.

I repeat, participants who wish to ask question may please press star and one at this time. The next question is from the line of Vansh Gupta from Praecient Capital.

Please proceed.

Vansh Gupta

Hi, sir. Thank you for the opportunity.

Am I audible?

Kapil Makhija

You're audible.

Vansh Gupta

Hello, sir. Sir, I just wanted to get some understanding on the pricing power of the company.

As you mentioned, you're saying that because of a change in product mix, the metric that we calculate using the revenue per transaction process, you're saying that's not entirely reflective or comparable to last year. Just to get a sense of understanding on the pricing power of the company, how is it that we now get a sense of how is it that the customers are really giving you revenue?

In my understanding, the revenue model of the company has always been that, and as you just mentioned, there is a minimum slab of transactions that the company's process, and after that, they have to pay an incremental amount of revenue on a step-up basis. Then how do we get a sense for how is it that the pricing is changing for these customers?

Kapil Makhija

Sure. Vansh, first of all, I want to clarify that we continue to operate at a premium compared to other players.

We continue to build strong advancements in the product. As you heard in our speech earlier that we are leveraging AI to continue to justify this premium.

We've been not only launching enhancements to the product, we are also launching core functionalities using AI. Being AI-first has ensured that we can continue to add meaningful value to the ecosystem, because of which we can justify the premium.

The various products continue to have a very different pricing profile, and because of that, an aggregate rate per transaction does not fully justify meaningfully the nature of our business and the growth trajectory of our business.

Vansh Gupta

Sir, just to clarify, these new products that we're selling to the clients, we're not selling them on a revenue per transaction basis?

Kapil Makhija

The pricing for all our products is a function of the transaction. The transactions can be different for different products.

For let's say UniReco, it is in terms of the number of items that are being reconciled. For UniCapture, it is the number of videos or images being processed.

In case of Uniware, it is the number of items going out of the warehouse. For different products, the underlying metric is the transaction, the definition of the transaction can vary according to the product.

Vansh Gupta

Got it, sir. Fine.

Thank you for the answer. Just one more question from my end.

I see that the revenue share of the top 10 clients has decreased from about 20.1% since last year to 12.1% now, and our revenues have grown by about 8%. Is it that we're losing some revenue share from the existing customers to our competition or is it largely because of the client that we've lost this quarter and that's what's causing the dent?

Kapil Makhija

Yeah. See, given the nature of our product, 100% of dropship e-commerce volumes for any brand flow through us.

A brand never uses multiple solutions for managing their e-commerce operations. That will never be the case that we lose part of the volume to some other player.

The relative share of top 10 customers has been consistently declining because we continue to add enterprise clients on a consistent basis. As the overall enterprise base increases and we continue to see growth in the business, the relative share of top 10 customers continues to decline.

This has been a consistent trend over the last many years, where in FY24, the concentration was 27%, and it has now come down to nearly 12% in quarter three FY26. It is a concerted effort to ensure that our revenue continues to be diversified, and it has a fairly healthy mix of multiple enterprise clients.

Vansh Gupta

Got it, sir. Just one last follow-up from my end.

Could you share if you have a sense of what is the total revenue percentage share that the company manages for its clients? My question really is, I want to get a sense of what is the D2C business of all of your clients on average that you're managing.

Is it 20% of their revenue, 30% of their revenue, any sense of that number if you can just provide?

Kapil Makhija

We'll not be able to share channel-specific information, but as I mentioned, 100% of a client's e-commerce dropship business gets managed through Uniware. It's not a part of the business that we are managing.

Vansh Gupta

Got it. Thanks, sir.

That's all from my end. Thank you.

Kapil Makhija

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one on their touch-tone telephone.

The next question is from the line of Siva from ithought PMS. Please proceed.

Siva Prakash

Hi, sir. Thank you for the opportunity.

You had mentioned that we had acquired 110 roughly clients this quarter. If I compare our enterprise client count with previous quarter, there seems to be a net addition of only 16 clients, right?

Does it mean we are having a higher churn? If so, could you explain why we are facing this high churn?

Kapil Makhija

Sure. E-commerce is a dynamic industry, Siva.

We continue to see churn in the long-tail segment, primarily among clients with low volumes or those winding down operations due to tough market conditions. While you may see that the net additions are lower than the gross additions that we are doing, but bulk of this churn happens through long-tail customers.

That is why, in spite of these customers churning, the three key reasons of churn for our platform continue to be a customer shutting down, customer deciding to move away from e-commerce, or customer deciding to move from dropship to an outright or a fulfilled by model, as we have demonstrated in the earlier calls as well. Bulk of the reasons of churn are that.

In spite of this churn, we continue to demonstrate a healthy growth. For this quarter, the growth was 8.1%, and we are hopeful of delivering a double-digit growth from quarter four onwards in the standalone Uniware business.

Siva Prakash

Understood, sir. Would it be possible for you to maybe quantify how much of those churn is from those three reasons that you mentioned?

Kapil Makhija

That's majority of the churn. 80%-plus of our churn is actually because of these three reasons.

Siva Prakash

That helps, sir. My second question is regarding quick commerce volume.

How much did they contribute this quarter? Again with regards to Shipway, how much cross-sell did we achieve?

Kapil Makhija

Sure. We continue to see quick commerce as a strong growth opportunity, and we have integrated with all leading quick commerce platforms.

When we launched it full scale in quarter four of FY25, we had seen about 20 million order items being processed. We have seen that number jump to about 70 million-plus order items being processed in quarter three FY26.

Just in a nine-month timeframe, we have seen a strong growth in the quick commerce volumes. While we have seen a strong growth, they are still a small fraction in the overall transaction mix.

Hope that gives you a perspective on the relative contribution of quick commerce. In terms of the Shipway cross-sell, when we acquired Shipway, less than 5% of our base was using Shipway services.

As per the way it mentioned that this number has already crossed 10% and continues to be in a similar trajectory even in this quarter as well. We continue to see a strong adoption of Shipway amongst Uniware base.

I also want to clarify that beyond the Uniware customer base, Shipway also has a larger product market opportunity in terms of social media sellers, people selling on just their own website, who may not need the services of Uniware, because Uniware becomes relevant for anybody who is selling on multiple channels. Anybody who is selling on social media, Instagram, etc., will still need to ship the goods to the end customer and will need Shipway services.

The market opportunity for Shipway is much larger, and while our focus is to continue to have a strong cross-sell motion on the Uniware base, our focus is to aggressively expand our sales and marketing to ensure that we are able to tap into customers which are outside of Uniware base as well.

Siva Prakash

Understood, sir. One last question, sir, with regards to our international market present, have we seen any significant client win?

How's the traction there?

Kapil Makhija

Yeah. We continue to see a strong growth in our international business.

It is growing faster than our domestic business. We continue to add clients in the regions.

We continue to operate in the same geographies in Middle East and Southeast Asia. While we have seen strong growth in the business, the international business continues to be profitable.

In the recent times, we've also announced a partnership with Naqel Express, which is Saudi Arabia's largest logistics and express delivery partner, to deepen our presence in the KSA e-commerce market.

Siva Prakash

Got it, sir. Thank you.

That's all from my end.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Vinod Krishna from Avendus Wealth.

Please proceed.

Vinod Krishna

Am I audible, sir?

Operator

Yes, sir,

Kapil Makhija

you're audible.

Vinod Krishna

You're audible. What is your opinion on long-term trajectory of dropship versus 1P model in India?

That is my first question. Any category concentration with our Uniware product?

My third question is, because e-commerce is having such a huge growth rate, but our Uniware is not getting similar growth rate. Maybe I'm wrong in understanding comparing with the overall Uniware thing.

If you can answer this question, I think I am clear, right?

Kapil Makhija

Sure. Dropship model continues to grow faster than the other models, primarily on the back of brands wanting to have greater control on the customer experience, platforms also preferring it because it is less capital-intensive, and now the ecosystem is available for brands to deliver a consistent customer experience on the dropship model compared to five years ago when the ecosystem wasn't available.

We have seen dropship model continue to grow faster. Today, it is contributing to nearly half the e-commerce market, but is expected to contribute about 65% in the next few years.

The second question was about the growth of Uniware versus the market. Uniware is processing a large portion of the e-commerce market.

We are processing about 25% to 30% of e-commerce dropship volumes, which means that we have effectively become an index to e-commerce market. We continue to grow faster than the market over many years.

While there are certain pockets within e-commerce that continue to grow fast, but there are also large pockets which have seen sluggish growth, because of which the overall growth is not at the same level as it used to be during the pandemic years. Our growth continues to be market plus-plus because as our existing clients grow, that is the growth of our existing clients is reflective of the market growth, but on top of that, we have added new initiatives of launching new products, adding new customers, because of which we continue to demonstrate a market plus-plus growth.

I'm sorry, I forgot the third question that you had. Category concentration.

See, we are a fairly well-diversified player where we serve 45-plus product categories across fashion, lifestyle, beauty and personal care, health and pharma, eyewear, FMCG, agritech, and many other players. As you've seen, the revenue is not concentrated on a handful of customers.

Similarly, our revenue is not concentrated on any particular category. Given that we process large volumes of India's e-commerce transactions, our category mix is reflective of the market mix, where we have seen lifestyle, beauty and personal care, electronics being some of the largest categories.

That is also reflective in our category mix as well. Our category mix is fairly well-diversified.

Vinod Krishna

Thank you, sir. Thanks.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Pratik from 325 Investment Advisors.

Please proceed.

Pratik Banthia

Hi. Am I audible?

Operator

Yes, sir, you're audible.

Pratik Banthia

Hi. I just wanted some clarification.

I just wanted to ask when a client subscribes for Uniware, does the client get access to all the modules or does it depend on the client what they want?

Kapil Makhija

Yes. When we started our journey, OMS and WMS within Uniware was the first two modules that we launched.

Whenever an enterprise client signs up for Uniware, they get the OMS and WMS. That's the most-selling module for us.

As we've launched newer offerings like omnichannel, UniReco, UniCapture, those are separate subscriptions that the brand has to take up depending on their need.

Pratik Banthia

Okay. Just a follow-up on that.

Would it be possible to give a cohort basically as and when a client starts their journey and they start with the WMS and OMS platform, how do they scale up their relationship over the following period, how many modules they start to subscribe, any sort of cohort that you could give?

Kapil Makhija

Most of our product additions are relatively recent, we will not have any long-term cohorts for you to be able to do any analysis on that. Having said that, we've just disclosed in our call today that we've seen a strong adoption of B2B and quick commerce modules where 35% to 40% of our enterprise clients use the B2B and quick commerce modules, and about 4% to 5% attach rate on the UniReco module that has happened just within the first six months of the product launch.

Typically, when a brand starts their journey, as I said, they start with the OMS and as they scale up their volumes, they start implementing WMS within their warehouse. As they expand their retail footprint, omnichannel becomes an important use case.

As their scale increases, they would need UniReco to reconcile their payments because there are many leakages that happens, particularly on the returns workflow. Similarly, UniCapture is a good complement to UniReco because UniCapture helps capture the proofs of the items that are going out and helps in the return validation as well.

Similarly, as these brands scale up, they would also want to expand to retail and wholesale, and hence they would also need or even quick commerce, they would need our B2B quick commerce suit as well.

Pratik Banthia

Okay. Sorry, last question on this cohort before I get back in the queue.

According to you, when would be able to start giving out what is it, one year down the line, two years down the line? When do you think it would be meaningful enough for us to start reading into the cohort data?

Kapil Makhija

See, in any B2B SaaS solution, it takes time, and it is a function of the product, there is a gestation period for any SaaS. In our experience, at least 12 to 18 months is something that we feel for any product before the product or the cohorts mature.

For some products, it may take longer as well, but bare minimum is 12 to 18 months.

Pratik Banthia

Okay. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Sumeet Jain from CLSA.

Please proceed.

Sumeet Jain

Hi. Thanks for the opportunity.

Am I audible?

Kapil Makhija

Sumeet, you're audible.

Sumeet Jain

Kapil. Firstly, congrats for a slight turnaround in the organic growth for Uniware.

Operator

Sorry to interrupt. Sir, can I request you to speak loudly or come closer to your device and speak?

Sumeet Jain

Sure. Am I audible now?

Hello? Am I audible now?

Operator

Yes, you're now audible. Please proceed.

Sumeet Jain

Yeah. Wanted to check the double-digit growth guidance that you gave for the next quarter.

How sustainable you see that going forward? What is leading to that?

Is it like the more traction in your new products being launched or is it the revival in the overall e-commerce market or are you guys gaining market share? Can you give us throw some light on that double-digit growth guidance?

Kapil Makhija

Sumeet. The double-digit growth we strongly believe that it's sustainable, because it is a result of the efforts that we have been implementing over the last few quarters, which includes acceleration in our new enterprise acquisition and revenue expansion initiatives, which are now beginning to reflect in the growth outcomes.

We have consistently added 100-plus clients over the past several quarters and 125-plus specifically in quarter four FY25. These new acquisitions take time to fully mature and have now started to give us incremental revenues, leading to year-on-year growth in quarter three FY26 and which gives us the confidence of delivering double-digit growth in quarter four.

Along with this, adoption of our new products, where we are seeing strong adoption across both B2B quick commerce suite as well as UniReco in the first six months of the launch. A combination of both these factors give us the confidence that we will continue to sustain double-digit growth in Uniware from quarter four FY onwards.

Sumeet Jain

Got it. That's very helpful.

A follow-up to that is can you give us a sense as to how many number of enterprise clients can you still tap into the market out there? I remember at the time of IPO you used to talk about some 10,000 enterprise clients can potentially be there for Unicommerce to address.

Can you just give us a sense as to how you look at the overall enterprise client customer base?

Kapil Makhija

Sure. I think in terms of the enterprise client base, one is we continue to see a strong launches of various digital-first brands because the Indian market is so large, a small niche within the Indian e-commerce market also becomes a meaningful opportunity for any brand.

We continue to see brand launches across various sectors, various niches, because of which we are confident that there's a large pool of enterprise customers that are available. At the same time, we have seen many legacy brands still haven't adopted the dropship model.

As more and more brands start adopting the dropship model, we will continue to see a pool of enterprise acquisitions widening for us. The third reason is that there are still many categories which have still not adopted the dropship model, and that should add to the enterprise pool.

I think the journey of the dropship model and for Uniware in particular have just started. We have a large pool of enterprise customers, and we still feel confident that in the long term, it should open up a market to the tune of 10,000 enterprise customers.

We should have significant headroom for growth in terms of the new customer acquisition in terms of new digital-first brands, legacy brands coming to dropship model, and new categories opening up on the dropship model. At the same time, we also want to continue to focus on the quality of acquisition, and that's why we've got Gaurav on board, who has a significant experience in driving enterprise acquisition.

Our focus will now looking at high-value deals in the enterprise segment with Gaurav's professional experience, which should help Uniware tap into a large pool of enterprise customers as well.

Sumeet Jain

Got it. That's very helpful.

Secondly, wanted to check, I think you guided for a breakeven EBITDA in your Shipway business in the few coming quarters. Can you give us a sense for how long that will stay?

What are the nature of investments you are doing? By when can we see the EBITDA improving into the profitable trajectory for Shipway?

Kapil Makhija

Sure. The investment areas, Sumeet, are in the fields of AI, product, and technology enhancements.

We want to enhance the sales and marketing capacity along with brand-building initiatives. Shipway is a challenger in the market.

It's a relatively late entrant in the large courier aggregation space. We want to make sure that we are investing rightly into sales and marketing, building a strong brand out of it.

At the same time, building a very strong and scalable product, which is AI-first, so that we continue to add value to the courier aggregation business. Hence, we feel that for the next few quarters, it'll operate at slightly below breakeven from adjusted EBITDA.

Having said that, the only way we know how to operate businesses is to run them profitably. We are making a very calibrated investment approach to make sure that we are able to put it on a strong foundation for fast growth in this.

We are hopeful that in the next few quarters, we should be able to see them the Shipway business, both Shipway and Convertway, becoming profitable.

Sumeet Jain

Got it. That's very helpful.

Thanks, and all the best.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Karthi from Suyash Advisors.

Please proceed.

Karthi Keyan

Good morning, Kapil. I hope I am audible.

Kapil Makhija

Karthi, you're audible.

Karthi Keyan

Thanks. Just wanted to understand one thing.

You've indicated that your profitability in the Uniware side is 40%-plus on an adjusted basis. The adjustment would be only for ESOP expenses or would there be anything else?

Part two to that question is, is there any more juice left for profitability improvement there?

Kapil Makhija

Karthi, that's correct. We have done the adjustments only to the extent of ESOP expense.

Karthi Keyan

Yes.

Kapil Makhija

For the second part, Karthi, yes, the business has an inherent operating leverage. As the revenue expands, we will continue to see an improvement in profitability in Uniware.

You will continue to see a consistent growth in revenues and profits in the Uniware and the overall Unicommerce business.

Karthi Keyan

Got it. Thanks for the answers.

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure that the management is able to address questions from the participant in this conference, please restrict your questions to two per participant.

Should you have a follow-up question, please rejoin the queue. The next question is from the line of Chinmay Nema from Praecient Capital.

Please proceed.

Chinmay Nema

Hi, sir. Just wanted to follow up on one of the questions about wallet share.

With respect to some of the largest digital-first brands on your roster like Lenskart or Mamaearth, do they typically operate 100% through Uniware or do they split volume in conjunction with some other platforms as well, if you could give some color around that? Secondly, if you could talk about how customizable the software is, to what extent are you able to customize it to the SKUs and inventory systems of the clients, some sense around that?

Kapil Makhija

Sure. As I mentioned before, given the nature of the product, it is difficult for a brand to operate multiple systems.

See, effectively, what we are doing, we are ensuring that the same inventory pool is getting exposed to multiple marketplaces at the same time. If they were using two systems, it is impossible for them to have a consistent inventory outlook across different marketplaces.

If they were not using the single system, it would make it very suboptimal for them because part of the inventory will be visible somewhere else and part of the inventory will be somewhere else. Given the nature of the product, a brand does not use multiple systems to manage their orders and inventory.

That's why, by design, we have 100% of the e-commerce volumes for any brand that is using Uniware. The Uniware system, as I mentioned before, operates like a system of record, just like how an ERP operates.

You don't hear a brand operating with multiple ERPs, right? Very similarly, you don't see a brand operating with multiple order and inventory management systems.

Sorry, I missed the second part of the question that you had.

Chinmay Nema

Sir, if you could talk about how customizable the product is with respect to needs of the businesses.

Kapil Makhija

Yeah. We've been building this platform for more than a decade now and have built this in a fairly configurable way where different use cases can be easily configured depending on the category, the product mix, the scale, the complexity of the operations.

In majority of the situations, the plain vanilla configurations that we offer are available. If there is a specific need of a customer, what we end up doing is that we understand that requirement and build it in a very generic way so that it not only serves the needs of a particular customer, but for a particular industry.

Over the last decade while we were building this platform, we have got many requirements from various customers, but we have not implemented it in a bespoke manner. We have instead incorporated it as a general feature in the product so that it can be available to a wider customer base.

Just as an example, if you are able to serve a fashion customer, they need unique serialization, they want to track each and every item. A B2C customer, they're selling cosmetics, lipsticks are very small in size as an example, they need to print labels which are very small in size can be pasted on the product itself.

There are these small nuances that over time we have built in the product, because of which it's available to a wide variety of customer base depending on the product category that they are in.

Chinmay Nema

Understood, sir. That's very helpful.

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Arvind Arora from A Square Capital.

Please proceed.

Arvind Arora

Hello. Hi.

Good morning, Kapil. My question is, if I see trailing 12 months basis, our data process is almost 1.1 billion.

Any plan on data monetization like using data analytics or something like that?

Kapil Makhija

Our focus is to keep adding new capabilities in our products. I think we are evaluating internally on how we can look at data.

We have amassed data over the last more than a decade, having served thousands of customers, and have a rich view on the information. We're also cognizant of the new DPDPA Act, we are evaluating internally on what we can launch which is within the regulatory ambit, but at the same time add meaningful value to our customer base.

Arvind Arora

Understood. Okay.

The second question is, since you mentioned that, and even if I compare a quarter-on-quarter standalone numbers, our revenue is increased 8%, but our PAT is increased drastically. Same will happen going forward, even you are guiding double-digit growth, our PAT would be at higher level due to operating leverage.

Is my understanding correct?

Kapil Makhija

See, definitely yes. We have strong inherent operating leverage because of which our profits typically tend to grow faster than our revenue growth.

At the same time, we want to invest in the business in terms of AI investments for product and technology, as we mentioned in the beginning. For example, we have launched Unibot in Uniware, which is a GenAI solution, enables faster decision-making, simplification of experience for our customer base.

We anticipate more investments in the AI field for Uniware. The kind of growth in profit may not be visible every quarter, but in the long term, definitely a large portion of our revenue growth flows to our bottom line, our profits will continue to grow faster than the revenues.

Anurag Mittal

Just to add on Arvind, Anurag here, just to add on Arvind here that during quarter three quarter three year-on-year, as you rightly mentioned, that our revenue has increased 8%, which has contributed to an increase in adjusted EBITDA, PBT, and PAT as well. Uniware operates with high gross margin profile.

Our like Uniware gross margin is around near about 80%, and incremental volumes have a direct positive impact on the bottom line as well. As Kapil also mentioned that as our revenue growth momentum increases to the double-digit trajectory in quarter four FY26 and onwards, this operating leverage should further expand our profit pools and also help us to generate more and more cash.

Arvind Arora

Understood. Kapil, just last one.

As you mentioned, we are investing in AI product and everything. These will open up a new stream of revenue, correct, in going forward?

Kapil Makhija

Yes, that's correct. It will add meaningful revenue, add meaningful value to our existing customers, plus it will open new monetization opportunities for us.

Arvind Arora

Last request, Kapil. Going forward, is it possible for you to disclose the numbers at different product level and even like you said for Uniware also you are getting revenue from two streams, like one is existing business and second would be the growth business.

If you can disclose that from Uniware and then for Shipway and Convertway also if you can disclose the numbers separately, is it possible?

Kapil Makhija

We disclose net growth of our existing customers annually in the form of a metric called NRR. NRR is net revenue retention, which means that if NRR is 103%, if a customer gave me ₹100 last year, it gives me ₹103 this year.

We disclose this metric annually. Along with that, we disclose about our new enterprise acquisitions every quarter.

That gives a good perspective about the various levers impacting the growth. The new products that we are adding contribute to our NRR.

As the new products start maturing, we should see an improvement in our NRR going forward. In the current year, given these products are just recently launched, they may not contribute meaningfully to the current year financials, but as I mentioned, we are investing for future growth, as a result of which in the subsequent years, you should see a strong contribution coming from these new launches that we are investing in the current year.

Arvind Arora

Understood. Is it possible to disclose the revenue numbers and transaction process at a quarterly level, so that for us is also easy to understand where we are going?

Kapil Makhija

You mean for the new products, right?

Arvind Arora

For new product, yes.

Kapil Makhija

As they become meaningful, we will definitely evaluate this internally. We also want to make sure as a management team that it's easier to model the business and have better predictability on our financial path.

Like I said, today these products are very nascent. It may not give a full picture.

As the revenue matures of some of these new products, we will definitely evaluate the possibility of disclosing this so that it becomes more accurate to model the business.

Arvind Arora

Understood. Okay.

Thank you, Kapil, not only to answer my question. It's all the efforts you and your team is putting, which is I think clearly right now also clearly visible, and in future also will see the growth moment.

Thank you. Thank you all.

Kapil Makhija

Thanks, Arvind, for your kind words.
