2. BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS:

Shriram Properties Limited ("SPL" or the "Company") demonstrated its operational prowess with several record-breaking achievements during FY24. SPL reported its highest-ever sales volume of 4.6 msf, reflecting a 14% year-on-year growth, and a sales value of H2,36,228 lakhs, marking a 28% year-on-year increase. Robust sales in ongoing and newly launched projects primarily drove this momentum. Additionally, SPL recorded its highest-ever gross collection of H 1,39,123 lakhs, attributed to significant milestone achievements and successful handovers. Upholding its reputation for timely deliveries, SPL made significant strides in project execution, culminating in the completion of eight projects, both residential and plotted developments, encompassing a total saleable area of 3.8 msf during FY24. The handover process witnessed enhancements, with approximately 1,400 units delivered to the customers within a span of 45-60 days upon receiving occupancy or completion certificates towards the end of Q4. During the year, we successfully handed over more than 3,000 units, which is a significant milestone in our history and sets a new benchmark for the team to surpass in the years to come.

In a strategic endeavor to broaden its geographical footprint, SPL has decided on venturing into the Pune real estate market. By signing a development agreement, the Company marked its foray into the promising markets of Western India, signaling its intent to harness new opportunities and cater to a broader clientele.

Financial Performance (Consolidated)

SPL ended the year with total revenues of H 98,735 lakhs, an EBITDA of H22,284 lakhs and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of H 7,542 lakhs.

SPL reported a total income of H78,275 lakhs from sale of properties largely driven by five key projects: Shriram Liberty Square, Shriram Chirping Woods T5 in Bengaluru, Shriram Park 63, Shriram Shankari in Chennai, and Shriram Grand One in Kolkata. These projects contributed significantly, accounting for 81% of the project revenues.

Additionally, the Company earned H6,028 lakhs through Development Management (DM) fees from projects like Shriram Chirping Ridge, Shriram Chirping Grove, and Shriram Pristine Estates. DM revenues were lower compared to the previous year due to project completions. SPL maintained a healthy gross margin of 29% in FY24, supported by income recognition from the key projects mentioned above. Other income of H12,282 lakhs mainly includes interest income from joint ventures and the monetisation of economic interests in certain projects. Operating expenses were higher in line with increased volumes of completion and hand over associated with income recognition upon obtaining occupancy certificates and customer registrations.

Employee expenses rose by 9% year-on-year to H8,605 lakhs. As of March 31, 2024, SPL had 670 employees. Other operating expenses, amounting to H10,493 lakhs, were mainly attributed to advertisement, sales promotion, legal fees, and maintenance.

The Company achieved its highest-ever EBITDA of H22,284 lakhs, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 23%, driven by income from critical projects and cost control efforts. The return on capital employed (RoCE) stood at 11%, placing SPL among the top performers in its peer group.

Finance costs increased by 11% year-on-year to H 11,780 lakhs, on account of interest associated with acquisitions and interest expenses on term loans and non-convertible debentures. The Company is focused on lowering interest costs and reducing net debt in FY25.

SPLs profit before the share of JV income/losses was H9,592 lakhs, reflecting a 40% year-on-year growth.

However, the Company reported a share of losses from joint ventures at H 1,958 lakhs, mainly due to the early stage of development in projects. Despite this, the overall net profit for SPL stood at H 7,542 lakhs, marking a 11% year-on-year growth. The Company continues its positive momentum in profitability, which began in Q3 FY22.
