    Why it matters

    Increased occupancy is expected to drive positive upside on margins and overall profitability.

    Yes. So Girish, with respect to blended occupancy, yes, you are right. We have seen improvement around on that, and we are on a strong path with respect to increasing the blended occupancy. As you would see, in H1, we have already sold almost about 30,000-plus seats and a lot of those seats will get occupied in Q3 and Q4 as well, which is going to have a positive impact on us.

    Q&A highlights

    “So Adhidev, primarily with respect to managed aggregation, there is no change in terms of strategy. The current pipeline of new centers, which you see with respect to managed aggregation is almost about 65%-odd. It's just that in the last two odd quarters, we had seen a bit more straight leases and a couple of Elite centers which came on board. So from our perspective, the overall strategy with respect to managed aggregation continues to stay the same.”

    Analyst questioned the strategic shift's impact on key financial metrics, and management clarified that MA strategy remains consistent, with straight leases being a recent addition for premium/Elite centers.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Q2 FY26 Financial Performance Overview

    Awfis Space Solutions reported a strong Q2 FY26, with consolidated operating revenue growing 26% year-on-year to INR367 crores. Operating EBITDA increased by 32% to INR132 crores, and margins expanded by 180 basis points to 36.1%. For the first half of FY26, operating EBITDA grew 44% year-on-year to INR259 crores, with revenue expanding 28% to INR702 crores and PAT rising 49% to INR26 crores, excluding exceptional item📎s. The company's return on capital employed was 65% annualized for Q2 FY26, up from 62% in FY25.

    02

    Operational Growth and Occupancy Levels

    In Q2 FY26, Awfis added 14,000 new seats, bringing its total operational seats to approximately 147,000 across 247 centers in 18 cities. The total capacity now stands at over 170,000 seats, covering 8.4 million square feet. The company's exit month occupancy was 74%, while mature centers (operational for over 12 months) achieved a robust 84% occupancy. Awfis signed contracts for over 15,000 new seats in Q2 FY26 and 30,000+ for H1 FY26, indicating a strong revenue pipeline.

    03

    Strategic Shift Towards Premiumization

    Awfis is strategically moving up the value chain by focusing on Grade A and Grade A+ buildings and premium locations. This approach is reflected in new supply acquisition, with 70% of new supply coming from Grade A+ assets and 100% from Grade A. The company's premium workspaces now include 21 Gold and 5 Elite centers. This shift caters to the evolving requirements of GCCs, large enterprises, and global clients seeking high-quality, tech-enabled workspaces, with premium transactions often under straight lease models delivering higher margins.

    04

    Subsidiarization of Awfis Transform

    A significant strategic milestone is the planned subsidiarization of Awfis Transform, the company's design and build business. This move is intended to optimize management bandwidth, unlock new growth opportunities, and provide enhanced flexibility in capital deployment. The business aims to expand beyond workplace design and build into new segments like retail, hospitality, and institutional projects, supported by a dedicated leadership team and clear financial visibility. The company believes this vertical will be a key growth engine.

    05

    Market Dynamics and Flex Space Outlook

    The Indian office market continues strong momentum, with cumulative gross leasing volumes at 64 million square feet year-to-date FY25. Flexible workspace contributed around 15% of total new office leasing in 2024, underscoring its mainstream acceptance. Industry analysts expect flex penetration to soon reach one-fifth of all commercial take-ups in India. Awfis sees continued strong demand, especially from GCCs and large enterprises, and believes the flex sector is setting global benchmarks for scale and innovation.

    06
