Arvind SmartSpaces Q1 FY27: consolidated PAT jumps 714% YoY to ₹97 Cr, OPM ~49%

Arvind SmartSpaces posted consolidated revenue of ₹317.6 Cr (+212% YoY, +104% QoQ) and consolidated PAT of ₹97.4 Cr (+714% YoY, +120% QoQ) for Q1 FY27, with basic EPS of ₹21.80 versus ₹2.44 a year ago. The print vastly outran the Street: a Univest Q1 FY27 preview had modeled revenue of ₹141 Cr and PAT of ₹18 Cr (+38%/+50% YoY) — actual revenue came in at roughly 2.3x that estimate and PAT at over 5x. Standalone (holding-company-only) PAT was a much smaller ₹20.1 Cr, since the bulk of group profit sits in project-level subsidiary LLPs that are consolidated but not part of the standalone entity — a structural gap, not a discrepancy.

The margin bridge is the real story behind the beat: OPM (EBITDA margin) expanded to roughly 49.2% from 21.1% a year ago and 38.2% last quarter, well above management's own 22-25% FY27 EBITDA margin guidance band, while NPM widened to 30.2% from 11.2% YoY. That swing points to a batch of projects moving from work-in-progress into recognised revenue at a favourable cost base this quarter, consistent with the company's completion-linked revenue recognition rather than a step-change in unit economics on an ongoing basis.

The stock went into the print at ₹667.85, up 9.5% over the past month of trading.

For context: this is the highest quarterly PAT in the last 6 quarters on our records; PAT has now risen for 4 consecutive quarters; revenue is at a 6-quarter high.

This is the first quarter measured against the FY27 outlook management laid out on the Q4 FY26 call (May 21, 2026): 35-40% bookings growth, BD lock-ins of ₹4,000-5,000 Cr, EBITDA margins of 22-25%, and net debt/equity below 1:1. The filing carries no bookings or BD lock-in disclosure, so those guidance components can't be checked from this document — the EBITDA margin component, however, was cleared comfortably. No separate management press release accompanied this filing to cross-check against these numbers. On corporate actions, the board also approved statutory auditor S R B C & Co LLP's resignation and appointed Walker Chandiok & Co LLP in its place, and confirmed Oxford Navrang Realtors Pvt Ltd as a new consolidated subsidiary after group entity Arvind Skyline picked up a 49% stake with de-facto control.
