Segments
Works Contract/Government Contracting drove the quarter with revenue up 17.5% YoY to ₹965.81 lakh and EBITDA up 65.9% to ₹221.64 lakh, while Real Estate revenue fell 44.9% to ₹131.43 lakh and turned to a ₹13.87 lakh EBITDA loss from a ₹20.86 lakh profit.
Key positives
- Government contracting revenue rose 17.5% YoY to ₹965.81 lakh and segment EBITDA rose 65.9% to ₹221.64 lakh, driving consolidated EBITDA margin to 19% from 14.6% a year earlier.
- EBITDA grew 34.2% YoY to ₹2.08 Cr versus revenue growth of 3.5%, a +30.7 percentage-point growth gap, with EBITDA margin expanding 437bps; the improvement was led by the government-contracting segment, whose EBITDA rose 65.9% YoY.
- Depreciation rose 41.2% YoY alongside a 15.9% increase in segment assets, producing a clean depreciation-to-asset-base cross-check.
- Other income was ₹15.33 lakh and was not the primary driver of ₹100.08 lakh consolidated PAT, supporting earnings quality.
Key concerns
- Real Estate revenue declined 44.9% YoY to ₹131.43 lakh and the segment moved from a ₹20.86 lakh EBITDA profit to a ₹13.87 lakh loss.
- EPS rose only 33.3% YoY to ₹0.08 versus PAT growth of 51.5%, reflecting dilution from 1,19,81,250 preferential shares and warrant conversions.
- Sequential revenue fell 81.8% from ₹6,020.39 lakh in Q4FY26 to ₹1,097.24 lakh, while finance costs increased 63.2% sequentially to ₹38.70 lakh.
- The sharp gross-margin expansion to 31.3% from a negative comparative margin was heavily influenced by the ₹775.31 lakh inventory-change adjustment, making the margin signal less clean.
