Godrej Properties reported its best-ever quarter with booking value of INR 9,519 crore, up 135% YoY, driven by strong launches like Godrej Zenith (INR 3,008 crore) and Godrej Reserve (INR 2,693 crore). Full-year bookings reached INR 22,527 crore, 84% YoY growth, exceeding guidance by 61%. Revenue grew only 1% to INR 1,952 crore due to revenue recognition lag, while PAT rose 14% to INR 471 crore. Collections hit INR 4,693 crore in Q4, and net debt reduced by INR 700 crore. Management guided for FY25 bookings of INR 27,000 crore (20%+ growth) and collections of INR 15,000 crore. The family settlement clarified no competition from Godrej & Boyce in real estate for six years. Key risk: execution on new launches and business development in a rising price environment.

NEW RISK

NEW RISK
Potential margin compression from rising input costs

Management acknowledged that construction cost overruns could reduce imputed EBITDA margins from the 27% level.

NEW RISK
Dependence on NCR and MMR markets for growth

Over 70% of FY24 bookings came from NCR and MMR; any slowdown in these markets could affect overall performance.
