Allen Career Institute Financial Update: Revenue and Profit Insights
Allen Career Institute has faced a slight decline in operating revenue alongside a significant 70% reduction in profits for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. The decline in profitability was noticeable in the previous fiscal year, FY24, when the company experienced its first decline in profits, primarily due to a slowdown in offline coaching services across the industry.
For FY25, Allen reported operating revenue of Rs 3,067 crore and total revenue of Rs 3,307 crore, which included Rs 240 crore from other income. According to a press release from the company, its profit after tax for the last fiscal year was Rs 41 crore. This contrasts with the previous financial year, FY24, when total income was Rs 3,473.2 crore with a profit of Rs 136 crore.
The company emphasized that it concluded FY25 with a strong balance sheet and a net cash position of approximately Rs 2,000 crore, compared to Rs 1,958 crore in FY24. In FY25, revenues generated outside Kota contributed to 75% of total revenue, an increase from 64% in the previous year.
Over the past two years, Allen has expanded its footprint by adding 106 self-operated physical classroom campuses across India, which includes 62 in 17 new cities and 44 in established markets. Despite this aggressive expansion, the company stated that its physical classroom operations remained profitable in FY25, bolstered by commendable academic results and disciplined financial management at the city level.
