Eternal Q1 results: Zomato’s parent company, Eternal, on Wednesday, 22 July, reported 268% year-on-year (YoY) jump in its consolidated profit to ₹92 crore for the April-June quarter of the financial year 2026-27 (Q1FY27). However, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, Eternal’s profit in Q1FY27 dropped 47.1%.
In the same quarter last year, the company’s profit was ₹25 crore, while in Q4FY26, it was ₹174 crore.
Consolidated revenue from operations jumped 182% YoY and 16.88% QoQ to ₹20,211 crore, mainly due to the shift to the 1P model in quick commerce, where revenue now also includes the full monetary value of goods sold, unlike in Q1FY26, when it included largely marketplace commission.
In Q1FY26, the company’s revenue was ₹7,167 crore, and in Q4FY26, it was ₹17,292 crore.
Meanwhile, the company announced a business transfer agreement with Carthero Technologies Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, under which it will transfer its business operating under the name ‘Nugget by Zomato’ to Carthero as part of an internal restructuring exercise.
