Roadzen Inc. (RDZN)·Q2 2026 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 FY2026 revenue was $13.68M, up 25.9% q/q and 15.2% y/y, with gross margin of 55.7%; net loss narrowed 90.3% y/y to $(2.11)M and Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $(1.09)M, the fifth consecutive sequential improvement .
- Versus S&P Global consensus, Roadzen delivered an EPS beat (actual −$0.03 vs est. −$0.04) and a revenue beat ($13.68M vs $12.00M), while EBITDA missed (actual −$2.59M vs est. −$1.40M); coverage remains thin with one estimate per metric (bolded in Estimates table) [Values retrieved from S&P Global].
- Balance sheet/capital flexibility improved: ~$9M raised at premiums to market in Q2 and an agreement-in-principle post-quarter to extend the $11.5M Mizuho senior secured facility to June 30, 2027, removing a near-term maturity overhang .
- Strategic catalysts: EU validation for DrivebuddyAI DMS, a major European OEM MGA mandate (>$20M GWP), and a definitive deal to acquire majority control of a U.S. commercial auto MGU projected to add ~$8M revenue in year one at ~25% net margin, scaling materially over three years .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Revenue momentum: “Revenue increased 25.9% sequentially and 15.2% year-over-year to $13.7 million; six-month revenue rose 18.0% to $24.5 million” .
- Profitability trajectory: “Q2 net loss narrowed to $(2.1) million… a 90.3% year-over-year improvement. Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $(1.1) million… fifth sequential improvement” .
- Strategic validation and pipeline: DrivebuddyAI achieved EU GSR 2144 validation; European OEM MGA mandate (> $20M GWP) expected to launch next quarter; acquisition to build a U.S. commercial auto platform with 15–25% commission/fee model, non-dilutive and scaling to $150M GWP with 25%+ net margins within three years .
- Management tone: “We raised over $11.5 million in the last four months with minimal dilution… delivered our fifth consecutive quarter of Adjusted EBITDA improvement” — CEO Rohan Malhotra .
- CFO confidence: “We continued to strengthen our balance sheet, providing the runway to reach operational cash flow breakeven… extension of our debt facility… will drive continued margin expansion” — CFO Jean-Noël Gallardo .
What Went Wrong
- EBITDA miss vs consensus: EBITDA actual −$2.59M vs est. −$1.40M; reflects higher q/q operating spend (G&A $3.81M Q2 vs $2.58M Q1; D&A $0.75M Q2 vs $0.13M Q1) despite y/y discipline [Values retrieved from S&P Global].
- Gross margin modestly down y/y: 55.7% in Q2 vs 56.1% in prior-year quarter; also down from 58.9% in Q1, indicating mix/scale effects during ramp .
- Leverage remains elevated: Short-term borrowings of $20.19M and total current liabilities of $61.29M at September 30, 2025, underscoring the importance of the debt maturity extension .

Q&A Highlights
- No Q2 FY2026 earnings call transcript was found in our document catalog or investor materials; management’s prepared remarks and press releases emphasize operational cash flow breakeven runway, debt extension, and sequential Adjusted EBITDA improvements .
- Clarifications provided in press releases include concrete program wins (European OEM MGA, U.S. MGU acquisition) and regulatory validations (EU GSR 2144), supporting revenue visibility and margin trajectory .
Estimates Context
- EPS beat: Q2 EPS −$0.03 vs S&P Global consensus −$0.04; revenue beat: $13.68M vs $12.00M; EBITDA miss: −$2.59M vs −$1.40M; each metric had one estimate, indicating limited coverage [Values retrieved from S&P Global].
- Potential estimate revisions: upward revenue revisions (European OEM MGA launch, India OEM partnership, U.S. MGU acquisition) ; EBITDA forecasts may adjust lower near term given q/q opex uptick, even as Adjusted EBITDA continues to improve .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Revenue growth re-accelerated with sequential and y/y gains; multi-region wins plus EU regulatory validation underpin demand momentum .
- Profitability trajectory remains favorable: fifth consecutive Adjusted EBITDA improvement and substantial net loss reduction y/y; monitor gross margin mix and opex discipline quarter to quarter .
- Balance sheet risk moderated: agreement-in-principle extending the $11.5M Mizuho facility beyond FY2026 removes a maturity overhang; $9M raised at premiums supports liquidity .
- Near-term trading catalysts: formal debt extension execution, European OEM MGA program launch, closing of U.S. MGU acquisition, and continued AI validation updates .
- Medium-term thesis: embedded insurance and AI automation across OEMs/fleets, regulatory mandates (EU NCAP 2026; India AIS-184) expanding TAM; U.S. platform integration (DrivebuddyAI + National Auto Club + distribution) targeted to scale margins .
- Estimates context: thin sell-side coverage amplifies beat/miss impact; expect revenue estimates to adjust upward while EBITDA estimates may lag until opex normalizes [Values retrieved from S&P Global].
- Risk checks: gross margin softening q/q/y/y, elevated current liabilities (short-term borrowings), and execution risk on program launches and acquisition integration; mitigated by improving cash runway and contract visibility .
