Debt

The net debt stood at Rs. 2,119 crores and the net debt to equity ratio stood at 1.07 for Q1FY24. Net debt has reduced by Rs. 89 crores compared to the previous quarter.

Outlook

Sales of 64,500+ residential units in the last quarter (Q1FY24) is a new peak, the highest ever since 2008. This trend points towards a sustained positive trajectory in the real estate cycle evidenced by inventory of less than 12 months nationwide. With the increasing economic activity and a growth projection of 6.1% by IMF (revised up by 0.2%), we firmly believe that Puravankara is well-positioned to capitalise and gain market share in a consolidating real estate market.

Tip Sheet

Upon transition to Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) including Ind AS 115, the Company has moved from the erstwhile percentage of completion method of revenue recognition to a completed contract method of revenue recognition. As a result, revenue is no longer recognised rateably over the project execution period but is recognised upon completion of the project and delivery of flats to the customers. The aforesaid change in the timing of revenue recognition has brought a significant variation in the periodical financial results.
