2-Min Summary
Kalpataru delivered a landmark Q4 FY26 with revenue surging to ₹1,694 crore (up ~178% YoY) and EBITDA margin expanding to 36%, driven by completion of 1.37 msf across multiple projects under the project completion method. Full-year pre-sales grew 17% to ₹5,280 crore, while collections jumped 34% to ₹4,960 crore, reflecting strong execution. The company guided for ~5.5 msf deliveries in FY27 and a launch pipeline of 5 msf (GDV ₹7,800 crore). Net debt stood at ₹8,160 crore (2x equity), with management targeting a marginal reduction. A key risk is the impact of geopolitical tensions and potential work-from-home trends on demand, though footfalls remain robust so far.

medium · analyst_questionNotable Quotes
Our momentum peaked in the fourth quarter where we achieved our highest ever quarterly pre-sales of 1,833 crores.
The robust Q4 performance is directly linked to these newer projects reaching the handover stage and we expect this delivery-led revenue recognition to be a recurring phenomena in our financial narrative going forward.
We are not chasing volume for the sake of scale. Instead, we are selectively pursuing high potential projects like this one that align strictly with our internal return thresholds and brand positioning.
