VVIP Infratech H2FY26 Results (BSE: 544219)
Signal: Margin expansion
The read
Consolidated revenue fell sharply (-23% YoY) in H2FY26 as government infrastructure spending slowed, but EBITDA margin expanded 287bps to 20.5% – a counterintuitive resilience driven by better project mix and real estate contribution. However, standalone infrastructure margin contracted 250bps, highlighting the dependency on real estate for group profitability. PAT declined 37% due to lower revenue and higher finance costs. Order book remains strong at ₹7.6 Bn, and management’s FY27 guidance of 50-55% revenue growth in standalone business, if delivered, would reverse the decline.

| Net profit | ₹11.78 Cr | -36.63% | |

P&L walk

Segments

Key positives
- Consolidated EBITDA margin expanded 287bps YoY to 20.5% despite revenue decline, driven by better project mix and real estate.
- Order book stands at ₹7.6 Bn (~2x FY26 standalone revenue), providing multi-year revenue visibility.
- Real estate sales velocity robust: Yamuna Expressway project 53% sold within 3 months of launch, total booked value ₹1,158 Cr across 3 projects.
- Management guides 50-55% standalone revenue growth in FY27, supported by ~₹837 Cr effective order book and strong bid pipeline.
Key concerns
- Consolidated revenue declined 23% YoY in H2FY26 and 6.5% in FY26, reflecting slowdown in government infrastructure spending.
- Standalone EBITDA margin dropped 250bps to 11.7% in H2FY26, indicating operating deleverage on lower revenue.
- Finance cost increased 28% YoY (FY26) due to higher working capital and land-related borrowings, pressuring net profit.
- EPS declined 24% on full-year basis, and 35% in H2FY26, reducing shareholder returns.
- Real estate revenue recognition is milestone-based and lumpy; near-term cash flows depend on achieving 25% construction progress.
