Roadzen Inc. (RDZN)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 FY2025 revenue was $12.09M, up 1.8% q/q and down 23% y/y as UK GAP insurance remained suspended; gross margin expanded sharply to 64.6% from 56.1% in Q2 .
- Net loss narrowed to $(2.52)M ($(0.04) per share) versus $(21.81)M in Q2 and $(30.57)M y/y; Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $(1.87)M from $(2.14)M in Q2 and $(3.10)M y/y .

- CEO expects revenue growth to “resume strongly next quarter,” supported by US/India expansion and expected UK resumption; new product MixtapeAI and AIS‑184 certification are incremental catalysts .
- No numeric guidance ranges were provided; Street consensus data via S&P Global was unavailable today—estimates comparison is therefore not possible (see Estimates Context).
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Gross margin expanded to 64.6%, improving from 56.1% in Q2—reflecting better cost discipline and mix .
- Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $(1.87)M; net loss fell 88% q/q to $(2.52)M, with CFO citing AI-led operational efficiencies (11% headcount reduction; lower training/inference costs) and streamlining .
- Strategic wins: AIS‑184 compliance for DrivebuddyAI in India; multiple new enterprise contracts and partnerships (Bosch L.OS, Motive, Simple Energy, NICL expansion), plus MixtapeAI launch to transform support/workflows .
Selected quotes:
- CEO: “Roadzen delivered on all our key priorities this quarter—growing revenue, accelerating our path to breakeven, launching breakthrough new products, and strengthening our balance sheet…We anticipate revenue growth to resume strongly next quarter…” .
- CFO: “We secured several significant new marquee enterprise contracts…adoption of AI in our internal operations allowed us to reduce our headcount by 11%…This was our strongest quarter in operational discipline…” .
What Went Wrong
- Revenue down 23% y/y due to UK FCA’s temporary countrywide suspension of GAP insurance, which materially impacted UK brokerage volumes .
- Operating expenses for the nine months rose to $74.1M (+$11.5M y/y), driven by $42.1M non‑cash RSU expense; though legacy RSUs are now fully expensed, they weighed heavily on reported results .
- Brokerage policies sold fell to 77,326 vs 101,700 y/y; GWP dropped to $13.2M from $21.4M y/y, reflecting UK GAP pause .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Sequential improvement across margin and profitability: gross margin 64.6% (vs 56.1% in Q2) and Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $(1.87)M; net loss fell to $(2.52)M—evidence of cost control and RSU amortization normalization .
- UK GAP remains the primary headwind; management continues to signal resumption in coming quarters, which would restore brokerage volume and GWP in the UK .
- AI product stack and regulatory certifications (MixtapeAI; DrivebuddyAI AIS‑184) deepen the moat and create cross‑sell opportunities across insurers, OEMs, fleets—potential to drive mix toward higher‑margin AI services .
- Pipeline and partnerships broadened (Bosch L.OS, Motive, Simple Energy, NICL expansion), supporting top‑line recovery in US/India while UK resumes .
- Balance sheet actions reduced short‑term liabilities by $12.6M and added equity capital; debt maturity extension (post‑Q3) further de‑risks near‑term liquidity profile .
- Near‑term trading: watch for UK resumption updates, incremental enterprise contract announcements, and margin cadence; medium‑term thesis hinges on scaling AI‑driven insurance/mobility workflows and continued cost efficiencies .
