Roadzen Inc. Reports 23% Revenue Decline in Q3 2024, Despite Significant Cost Reductions

Roadzen Inc. reported a significant decline in financial performance for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, as detailed in its latest 10-Q filing. The company generated revenues of $12.1 million for the third quarter, a decrease of 23% from $15.6 million in the same period last year. For the nine-month period, revenues totaled $32.9 million, down 10% from $36.7 million in the prior year. The decline in revenue was primarily attributed to the suspension of the Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) product in the U.K. market, which has impacted overall sales.

In terms of expenses, Roadzen reported total costs of $15.3 million for the third quarter, a substantial reduction from $47 million in the previous year, reflecting a 68% decrease. This reduction was driven by lower costs across various categories, including a 37% drop in the cost of services and an 87% decrease in research and development expenses. The company reported a loss from operations of $3.2 million for the quarter, a significant improvement compared to a loss of $31.3 million in the same period last year. For the nine-month period, the loss from operations was $57.1 million, compared to $42.7 million in the prior year.

Roadzen has also made strategic moves to enhance its market position, including the acquisition of Global Insurance Management Ltd. and National Automobile Club in June 2023, which are expected to bolster its presence in the U.S. and U.K. markets. The company has focused on expanding its Insurance as a Service (IaaS) platform, which accounted for 40% of revenues in the latest quarter, while brokerage solutions made up the remaining 60%. The company reported a total of 34 insurance customer agreements and 77 automotive customer agreements as of December 31, 2024.

Operationally, Roadzen has seen a decrease in the number of policies sold, with 77,326 policies generating approximately $13.2 million in Gross Written Premium (GWP) for the third quarter, down from 101,700 policies and $21.4 million in GWP in the same period last year. The company conducted 698,657 claims, roadside assistance, and vehicle inspections during the quarter, an increase from 486,918 in the prior year, indicating a growing engagement with its services despite the revenue decline.

Looking ahead, Roadzen's management has expressed a commitment to continue investing in technology and innovation to drive growth. The company is actively pursuing additional financing opportunities to support its operations and strategic initiatives, particularly in light of its accumulated deficit of $224.5 million as of December 31, 2024. The company anticipates ongoing operating losses and negative cash flows, which may necessitate further capital raises to sustain its growth trajectory.
