From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Launch Delays & Timeline | Management clarified the lack of Q1 launches was a deliberate, disciplined decision, not due to RERA delays. Four projects are planned for Q2, with the rest targeted for H2. Embassy One North tower launch was pushed to Q2 for strategic branding reasons. |
| Cash Flow Outlook | Q1 had negative operating cash flow of INR285 crores as projects launched last year are early in the construction cycle. Management expects collections to accelerate significantly from Q2 onwards as projects progress, with an 'inflection point' expected around mid-next calendar year when slab cycles begin. |
| Debt and Cost of Capital | The average cost of institutional debt is ~14%, with Blackstone shareholder debt accruing at 18%. The preferential allotment aims to repay promoter group debt, signaling confidence. The plan is to first refinance high-cost debt to lower rates (targeting March-April next year), then gradually reduce overall debt as projects generate surplus cash. |
| Land Bank & Nashik | The 1,400+ acre Nashik land is undergoing a debonding process (expected to take 6-9 more months) while seeking an amicable solution with MIDC. Other land parcels are not an immediate priority; focus is on launching 'launchable' projects first. |
| Brand Perception and Legacy Projects | Management acknowledged the work required to build the Embassy brand in Mumbai and rectify legacy Indiabulls projects, viewing it as a journey to build trust. They stated they have no association with the current Indiabulls company. |
| Accounting and Profit Recognition | Management is actively exploring the possibility of adopting the percentage completion method for revenue recognition in future quarters, instead of the current completion method which causes reported losses. |
Guidance
