IndiQube Q1 FY27: revenue +37% YoY to ₹423 Cr, statutory net loss stays at ₹23.9 Cr
IndiQube Spaces reported standalone revenue from operations of ₹422.7 Cr for Q1 FY27 (quarter ended 30 June 2026), up 36.7% YoY from ₹309.3 Cr and up 5.3% QoQ from ₹401.4 Cr — its highest-ever quarterly revenue, consistent with management's own claim of ₹428 Cr and 37% YoY growth. On the bottom line, however, the statutory (Ind AS 34) statement filed with the exchange shows a net loss of ₹23.9 Cr (EPS -₹1.13), a loss that widened 5.4% QoQ from ₹22.7 Cr but narrowed 35% YoY from ₹36.8 Cr a year ago. The company remains loss-making at the reported level even as revenue scales.
The loss traces to Finance costs of ₹127.2 Cr and Depreciation & amortisation of ₹187.9 Cr — together ₹315.1 Cr, nearly two-thirds of total expenses of ₹479.3 Cr — both driven by right-of-use lease liabilities/assets recognised under Ind AS 116 for the office space IndiQube leases from landlords and subleases as managed workspace. This is the central disconnect in today's release: management's own press statement cites EBITDA of ₹87 Cr (20% margin) and PAT of ₹35 Cr, up 91% YoY, framing the quarter as "a very strong start to the year" with "profitability strengthening across every key metric." Those figures are non-GAAP and appear to strip out the Ind AS 116 lease-accounting impact; the statutory numbers filed under Regulation 33 tell a different story — a total tax credit of ₹6.6 Cr (a ₹14.8 Cr deferred-tax credit partly offset by ₹8.2 Cr current tax) narrows the pre-tax loss of ₹30.5 Cr to the ₹23.9 Cr net loss, but the company stays in the red on a reported basis.
Against management's own FY27 guidance from the May 2026 concall — 25-30% revenue growth and 8-10% PAT margins — the print beats on revenue (36.7% YoY) but misses on profitability on a statutory basis (net margin -5.3%), though management's non-GAAP PAT margin of about 8.2% sits near the low end of the guided range. Our pre-result preview had flagged a revenue range of ₹350-380 Cr; the actual ₹422.7 Cr (mgmt: ₹428 Cr) is a clear beat on that marker, alongside the ₹404 Cr of fresh large-deal wins and the 3.9 lakh sq ft Noida expansion flagged as watch items. Analyst sentiment captured pre-result was mixed, with price targets of ₹277-334 against a Sell call from MarketsMojo on valuation and near-term profitability concerns — concerns this print does not fully dispel given the continuing statutory loss. Separately, the company also released its IPO proceeds monitoring report this quarter, showing ₹269 Cr utilised of the ₹604 Cr total raised, with ₹335 Cr still earmarked mainly for new-center security deposits, fit-outs and solar capex.
Going into the August 13, 2026 earnings call, the key question is how management reconciles its ₹35 Cr non-GAAP PAT narrative with the ₹23.9 Cr statutory loss actually filed, and whether the 8-10% PAT margin guidance is being tracked on the non-GAAP or statutory basis — the two currently diverge by roughly 13 percentage points of margin.
