What the record says.
Awfis delivered a solid Q3 FY26 with revenue of 382 crores (+20% YoY) and EBITDA of 139 crores (+30% YoY), with margins expanding 270 bps to 36.5%. Growth was driven by co-working & allied services (+32% YoY to 322 crores), supported by high occupancy (75% blended, 84% for mature centers) and strong GCC traction (80+ GCCs, 21% revenue share). The office transform segment faced temporary headwinds from GRAP restrictions and project deferrals, but a pipeline of ~9 lakh sq ft (~200 crores revenue opportunity) signals recovery. Management guided for 32,000 seat additions in FY26 (vs earlier 40,000) due to a balanced approach prioritizing occupancy and margins. Risk: execution delays in the transform segment could persist if macro conditions (e.g., pollution norms) disrupt project timelines.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management revised gross seat addition guidance from 40,000 to ~32,000-33,000 for FY26, focusing on occupancy and margin improvement.
- Despite lower seat additions, capex remains at ₹200-210 crores due to higher proportion of straight-lease and elite centers.
- Co-working segment is on track to meet the earlier guidance of 30% revenue and EBITDA growth, though transform segment is lagging.
- Management expects mature center occupancy to improve by 100-150 bps in the next 1-2 quarters, driven by signed seat pipeline.
Risks flagged
- Transform segment revenue declined due to GRAP pollution norms and project deferrals; pipeline recovery depends on timely execution.
- Seat addition guidance cut from 40,000 to 32,000-33,000 raises questions about growth trajectory and market share.
- Analyst noted that despite high seat signings, net occupied seat growth is slower, implying churn or slow ramp-up in new centers.
- Depreciation rose meaningfully due to elite center investments, pressuring reported margins despite operational improvements.
Key quotes
- Our focus is more around on building blended occupancies for the current portfolio and run it that way. We are taking a more balanced approach because we don't want to be stuck with signing up deals at prices which are not conducive for us in long term.
- We are the only large co-working player in India with strong presence in small cohort co-working segments catering to clients ranging from single seats to more than 100 seats. This is a highly operation intensive business.
- The centers where we have signed up or went live in Q4 of last financial year, we expect a ramp up in occupancy beyond 80% plus in Q4 of this financial year as well as Q1 of the next financial year.
