BOARDS REPORT
Dear Members,
Your directors have the pleasure of presenting the 4th Annual Report (Post IPO) of the Company along with the Audited Standalone and Consolidated Financial Statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 ("FY25").
The Company operates in the real estate sector and, in line with established industry practices, undertakes most of its development through various Special Purpose Vehicles ("SPVs"). Each SPV is incorporated for the purpose of executing specific real estate project(s), allowing for focused management, project-specific financing, ring-fencing of project level risks and appropriate risk mitigation.
This structure enables the Company to efficiently manage diverse projects, enter into joint development or joint venture arrangements, and meet applicable regulatory and operational requirements. As a result, a substantial portion of the Groups revenue and profits is generated at the SPV level and consolidated in the Groups Financial Statements.
This model is well-recognised and widely followed across the industry, aligning with financial, operational, and governance best practices. In view of the above, the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements accurately reflect its operational and financial performance during the year, consistent with the past years.

BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS:
Operational Highlights
During the year under review reflected the Companys resilience, adaptability, and commitment to execution excellence. Despite external challenges and procedural headwinds, we delivered resilient performance across key operational and financial metrics, reinforcing the strength of our operating platform and our unwavering customer focus.
The Company achieved pre-sales of 4.3 msf*, amounting to a sales value of Rs.2,28,815 lakhs, and posted record-high collections of Rs.1,48,434 lakhs during the year. Your Company has successfully completed nine projects totalling 4.3 msf and handed over more than 3,150 homes, an outcome that underscores our strong delivery capabilities and customer trust.
While the pace of new launches and revenue recognition was temporarily impacted due to prolonged administrative processes and several state specific issues-including the conduct of state elections in Maharashtra, mandatory use of eKhata, and technical issues in registration software system in Karnataka-these challenges were largely transitional. Crucially, we were able to recover a substantial portion of deferred revenues in Q4, which marked a decisive turnaround and strengthened momentum.
Importantly, demand remained robust throughout the year, backed by a stable macroeconomic environment, favourable interest rates, and sustained end-user interest in quality housing. The softer absorption levels were driven primarily by supply-side limitations, not demand-side weakness- reaffirming the strong fundamentals of our core markets.
Encouragingly, we are witnessing early signs of normalisation in the approval ecosystem, and the project launch pipeline is gaining traction. With a carefully curated portfolio of upcoming launches and sharper focus on operational efficiency, we are confident of delivering improved performance in FY26.
In summary, FY25 was a year of steady progress, marked by operational resilience, strong customer delivery, and prudent financial management. The significant momentum achieved in Q4 has set the stage for a more dynamic growth trajectory in the upcoming year, and we remain fully geared to capitalise on emerging opportunities with agility and confidence.
Financial Performance (Consolidated)
The Company ended the financial year with total revenues of Rs.97,338 lakhs, gross profit of Rs.24,850 lakhs, EBITDA (including share of J V income) of Rs.20,283 lakhs, and Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs.7,730 lakhs. Throughout the year, the Company maintained healthy margins of 30% gross profit, 21% EBITDA, and 8% PAT margins.
Revenue from sale of properties at Rs.80,890 lakhs, driven primarily by six key projects-Shriram Liberty Square, Shriram Pristine Estates, and Shriram Chirping Woods in Bengaluru; Shriram Park 63 and Shriram Shankari in Chennai; and Shriram Grand One in Kolkata. These projects collectively contributed 90% of the revenue from sale of properties.
The Company sustained a healthy gross margin of 30%, largely supported by revenue recognition from these high-performing developments.
Other income of Rs.14,994 lakhs was primarily derived from interest income on loans to joint ventures and other corporate entities, gains from monetisation of land, along with monetisation of economic interests in select projects.
Operating expenses were higher during the year, in line with increased volumes of completion and handovers. These expenses were associated with income recognition upon obtaining occupancy certificates and customer registrations. Employee expenses rose by 6% year-on-year to Rs.9,247 lakhs and as of March 31, 2025, SPL had 665 employees. Other operating expenses, amounting to Rs.12,665 lakhs, were mainly attributed to advertising, sales promotion, legal fees, repairs and maintenance.
The Company achieved EBITDA of Rs.20,283 lakhs, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 21%, driven by income from critical projects and cost control efforts. The return on capital employed (RoCE) stood at 9%, placing the Company in the first quartile of returns within the peer group.
Finance costs registered a year-on-year decline of 11%, amounting to Rs.10,458 lakhs, primarily attributable to lower interest expenses incurred on term loans and non-convertible debentures and lower average gross debt levels during the year. The Company is focused on lowering interest costs and reducing net debt in FY26.
SPLs profit before the share of JV income/losses was Rs.6,439 lakhs. The Company reported a share of profit from joint ventures amounting to only Rs.2,351 lakhs, which was primarily driven by handover momentum in recently completed phases of ongoing projects: Shriram 107 South east and Shriram WYTfield. Overall net profit for SPL stood at Rs.7,730 lakhs.
This performance underscores the Companys operational resilience and effective execution despite the regulatory and external challenges faced earlier in the year. The ability to adapt, deliver, and sustain momentum reflects the strength of SPLs strategic planning, governance, and commitment to stakeholder value.
The Company continued to generate healthy cashflow from operations and during the year Rs.30,500 lakhs of cash flow were generated from operations as compared to Rs.22,700 lakhs in FY24. After utilising Rs.3,200 lakhs towards loan repayments and interest payments under financing activities. The Company generated free cash flows of Rs.27,300 lakhs before new project investment.
During the year, the Company invested Rs.14,300 lakhs towards new project commitments, aligning with its long-term growth strategy.
Free cash flow improved significantly to Rs.13,000 lakhs, up from Rs.7,000 lakhs in FY24, reflecting stronger operational efficiencies and disciplined capital management.
The Company ended the year with a healthy cash and cash equivalents balance of Rs.31,994 lakhs, positioning it well to pursue emerging growth opportunities and navigating market dynamics with confidence.
Financial Performance (Standalone)
The total income at standalone level was Rs.13,471 lakhs while the total expenses were Rs.21,839 lakhs and the Profit/(Loss) After Tax (PAT) of Rs.(5,774) lakhs.
As described earlier in this Report, the Companys Standalone Performance forms only a part of its overall operational and financial performance, given the Company develops individual projects under various Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures. The Standalone financial statements capture revenues from projects executed under the Standalone entity. However, all non-project-specific corporate costs of the Group are also accounted for in the Standalone financials. Accordingly, the Standalone results may not fully reflect the underlying operating performance of the Company, which is more appropriately reflected in the Consolidated financial statements.
DIVIDEND:
In view of the Companys current financial performance and with a focus on conserving long-term resources, the Board of Directors have decided not to recommend any dividend for FY25. Consequently, no amount has been transferred to the general reserves.
Pursuant to Regulation 43A of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 ("Listing Regulations" or "SEBI LODR Regulations"), the Company has adopted a Dividend Distribution Policy. This policy is available on the Companys website at: https://www.shriramproperties. com/corporate-governance.
SUBSIDIARIES AND JOINT VENTURES:
Given the nature of its business operations and with the objective of ring-fencing project-specific risks, the Company undertakes individual projects through SPVs, in line with prevailing industry practices.
This structure also aligns with the requirements of funding partners and landowners. Accordingly, projects are executed through SPVs in the form of wholly owned subsidiaries, subsidiaries, or joint ventures, depending on the specific arrangement.
