    Occupancy in mature centers

    next couple of quarters
    Current84%
    TargetIncrease by 100 bps

    Why it matters

    Improvement in mature center occupancy directly impacts profitability and operational efficiency, signaling effective demand generation and client retention.

    On our mature cohort, the centers, which are operating for more than 12 months, we are at 84%. This is healthy, but this is also where we believe there is a room to do better in FY '27. So primarily 3 actionable levers over here from our side, more deeper GCCs and enterprise penetration across these centers. Second, what we are aiming for is longer tenure deals into these centers. And a straightforward actionable for is more active renewal and churn management across the portfolio. Broadly in this kind of a cohort, we would prefer that at least we have a couple of 100 basis point increase over the next couple of quarters.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Robust FY26 Performance Driven by Premiumization

    Awfis Space Solutions reported a strong FY26, with revenue from operations growing 24% year-on-year to INR1,493 crores. The coworking and allied services segment was a significant contributor, expanding 35% to INR1,237 crores, adding INR321 crores of incremental revenue. Operating EBITDA increased 37% to INR550 crores, with margins expanding to 36.8%, reflecting the success of the company's premiumization strategy and operational leverage. PAT before exceptional item📎s grew 66% to INR71 crores, underscoring the platform's earning quality.

    02

    Strategic Shift to Grade A/A+ Assets and Enterprise Focus

    The company's strategy in FY26 focused on premiumization, with all new centers signed being Grade A/A+ assets in top demand micro-markets. This shift is translating into structurally better realization, stronger pricing power, and longer client tenures. Enterprise and MNC clients now constitute 64% of the client base, and the average client tenure has strengthened to 37 months, with a lock-in tenure of 26 months, reinforcing revenue predictability.

    03

    Expanding GCC Demand and Multi-Center Client Base

    India's GCC ecosystem continues to be a strong tailwind, with Awfis serving over 100 unique GCC clients across 9 cities, contributing approximately 23% of rental revenues. The multi-center client base is deepening, with 48% of clients operating across multiple Awfis centers. Clients operating in 3 or more centers now account for 31% of seats, demonstrating the network effect and increasing wallet share per client.

    04

    Awfis Transform and Frame Initiatives Gaining Traction

    The Awfis Transform design and build business saw external client work revenue grow from INR95 crores in FY25 to INR152 crores in FY26, achieving a 27% CAGR over two years. The company is also developing 'Frame by Awfis,' a furniture business, with a capex-light contract manufacturing setup across five partners. This initiative aims to integrate Frame into 30-40% of D&B deployments and potentially become a stand-alone revenue channel in FY27.

    05

    FY27 Outlook and Disciplined Capital Deployment

    For FY27, Awfis projects coworking and allied services revenue growth of 25-27%, and Awfis Transform revenue growth of 22-25%, leading to an overall revenue growth of 25-27%. The company plans to add 22,000 to 25,000 gross seats, with capex projected to be similar to FY26's INR208 crores. This disciplined capital deployment strategy aims to maintain industry-leading capital efficiency and a net cash position.

    06

    Portfolio Rebalancing and Occupancy Management

    In FY26, Awfis added 30,000 gross seats but recorded a net addition of 22,000 due to the strategic closure of 8,000 seats as part of a portfolio rebalancing towards Grade A/A+ assets. Blended occupancy stood at 76%, while mature centers achieved 84%. Management aims to improve mature center occupancy by 100 basis points over the next couple of quarters, leveraging deeper enterprise demand and longer tenure deals.
