Simplilearn Cuts Ebitda Losses By 75% As FY24 Revenue Reaches Rs 773 Cr

Simplilearn, a global leader in digital upskilling, has improved its earning before interest tax depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) margin by reducing losses by 75 per cent from FY23 while achieving year-on-year revenue growth. The company said that this indicates its strategic focus on operational efficiency and market expansion, aligned with mindful and sustainable growth.

Key factors that fueled this momentum include a pivotal initiative in early FY24 focused on overall customer experience, which has proven highly effective, said the company. This initiative has demonstrated the impact of delivering a superior experience with high-quality products. The outcomes included increased customer retention, higher referral rates, greater course completion, and significantly improved learning outcomes. 

At an organisational level, the emphasis was on fostering organic growth, developing a more powerful learner "shopping" experience, and reducing customer acquisition costs. To complement this, the company strengthened its performance marketing strategy by refining campaign targeting to match each course's target learner persona better and enhancing website content, design and overall user experience. These initiatives have yielded better outcomes, resulting in a two-fold increase in return on ad spend (ROAS).
