According to The Hindu BusinessLine, Godrej Properties Limited reported a 42% year-on-year decline in net profit after tax to ₹350 crores for the first quarter of financial year 2027 — the quarter ended June 30, 2026 — even as booking value rose 22% to ₹8,651 crores. Total income contracted 16% to ₹1,337 crores from ₹1,593 crores in the same period last year.

Earnings slide on lower deliveries
The Hindu BusinessLine reported that profit before tax fell 44% to ₹480 crores, while EBITDA declined 40% to ₹545 crores. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted sharply to 41.7% from 58.1% in Q1 FY26. The company attributed the fall in revenue recognition primarily to lower deliveries during the quarter, with only 0.9 million sq. ft. delivered compared with 7.4 million sq. ft. in the preceding quarter, Q4 FY26. Revenue recognition in the real estate sector is tied to project completion and delivery milestones.

Balance sheet and cash flow
Net debt rose to ₹7,637 crores as of June 30, 2026, from ₹6,414 crores at the end of March 2026, pushing the net debt-to-equity ratio to 0.39 from 0.33, the company said. Construction and related outflows surged 54% year-on-year to ₹2,244 crores, reflecting accelerated execution activity expected to translate into deliveries in FY28. Operating cash flow for the quarter stood at ₹399 crores, down sharply from ₹4,631 crores in Q4 FY26, largely due to the steep drop in collections following the low-delivery quarter.
Expansion pipeline and FY27 outlook
The company added three new projects in Q1 FY27 with an estimated saleable area of 8 million sq. ft. and expected booking value of ₹9,500 crores, including a large group housing project in Greater Noida DMIC. Against its full-year FY27 guidance of ₹39,000 crores in booking value, the company has achieved 22% in the first quarter. Management maintained all guidance parameters as on track. Godrej Properties also said it expects a cumulative operating cash flow of ₹20,000–22,000 crores across FY27 and FY28.
