From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Annual Area Addition Guidance | Management reiterated the target to add close to 2 million sq ft of rent-paying area annually, explaining that Q1's flat sequential addition is due to timing of building ramp-ups and that a signed pipeline of 3.9 million sq ft provides coverage. |
| VAS Revenue and Growth | One-time VAS revenue of INR 39 Cr was recognized from DesignQube, IndiCare, and Eco services. Management expects VAS contribution to increase by 2% to 4% from the current 17%, with a focus on scaling over margin expansion in the near term, targeting ~15% margins for VAS. |
| Solar Investment | Plans to add 25-30 MW of solar capacity in the current year with a capex of INR 100-120 Cr, generating IRRs of 18-22%. |
| Client and Revenue Mix | Revenue breakdown: 53% from GCCs, 23% from startups/unicorns, and 28% from Indian enterprises (which includes IT services companies). |
| New Center Break-even Timeline | New centers reach operational break-even (52-57% occupancy) in 5-6 months and steady-state (~90% occupancy) within 9-12 months, not 36 months which is the capex recovery period. |
| Occupancy and Margin Ranges | Guided ranges: corporate occupancy 80-85%, mature center occupancy 85-90%; EBITDA margin 19-21%, EBIT margin 11-13%, PAT margin 8-10%. |
| Expansion Strategy and Markets | Strategy is 'follow the talent' and micro-market focused. Bullish on Noida, with plans to sign larger spaces in Hyderabad and Mumbai in FY27. Tier-2 city economics are similar to metros, with cheaper real estate and seat pricing. |
| Supply Source and Pricing | ~20% of supply is institutional (e.g., REITs), up from 12% a few years ago. Institutional supply commands higher rents but also attracts GCCs willing to pay more, keeping margins consistent. |
Guidance
- Add close to 2 million square feet of rent-paying area annually.
- VAS revenue contribution expected to increase by 2% to 4% from the current ~17%.
- Add 25-30 megawatts of solar capacity in the current year with a capex of INR 100-120 Cr.
- Maintain corporate occupancy in the range of 80-85% and mature center occupancy at 85-90%.
- Target EBITDA margin range of 19-21%, EBIT margin 11-13%, and PAT margin 8-10%.
- Plan to sign larger spaces in Hyderabad and Mumbai in the current financial year.
