    Management Summary

    Eleganz Interiors reported H1 FY26 revenue of ₹111 crores with a compressed PAT margin of 2% due to lower execution and fixed costs. However, the company maintains a robust order book of ₹586 crores and a strong bidding pipeline of ₹4,000 crores. Management expects significant recovery in H2, targeting ₹300-350 crores in sales, aiming for 15-20% full-year growth and a 25-30% CAGR over the next 3-5 years, driven by larger Design & Build projects and strategic expansion into EPC.

    Q&A highlights

    8

    “So what happens, Mr. Amit is that our clients, the scale that we are working at, they are very well involved and they are doing multiple projects. They're very well aware of the market also. They give you a basically fair margin of about 15% on the project. They are aware about the cost. Now 15% according to them is the fair margin is basically profit and overhead. Even if we have any additional items being done on a project, right? There's a lot of change in scope, change in action. They give us only 10% profit and overhead. If you remove the overheads from that in the company administrative costs and this and that, the margin comes down to that. But the money is safe. We don't have bad debts. With these clients, once you sign a contract, the money is 100% safe. When you scale, the margins get thinner. We were also at ₹30 crores at one point of time, we know the margins are better. But as we are scaling, the margins do get thinner, but the money is safe. That is the difference.”

    Addresses the reason for low H1 PAT margin (2%) and explains the trade-off between margin and client quality/safety of funds, while also indicating future margin improvement targets.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    H1 FY26 Performance and Business Seasonality

    Eleganz Interiors reported H1 FY26 revenue of ₹111 crores, which is lower than historical H1 performance. This led to a compressed PAT margin of 2% for the half-year, primarily due to fixed employee costs not being offset by sufficient revenue. Management clarified that the business is inherently lumpy and seasonal, with billing heavily concentrated in the second half of the financial year, particularly the last quarter (March), as clients exhaust their annual budgets.

    02

    Robust Order Book and Growth Outlook

    The company maintains a strong current order book of ₹586 crores (excluding GST) as of September 2025. New orders worth ₹346 crores were received in H1 FY26, with a significant portion expected to be executed in H2. Management projects a 15-20% revenue growth for the full FY26, aiming for total sales of ₹425-450 crores. A more ambitious 3-5 year CAGR target of 25-30% remains intact, supported by a bidding pipeline of ₹4,000 crores with an expected 10% win rate.

    03

    Strategic Focus on Design & Build and Larger Projects

    Eleganz Interiors specializes in Design & Build and General Contracting services. The company is increasingly focusing on larger projects (₹100 crores plus) where competition is significantly lower, allowing for better margins and client relationships. A new design studio was recently inaugurated in BKC to enhance Design & Build capabilities. The company's in-house MEP team and manufacturing facility in Vasai (27,000 sq ft) contribute to cost efficiency and time management, with plans for a new factory in Khopoli to further reduce outsourcing (currently 40%).

    04

    Working Capital Management and Client Quality

    Executing large projects requires substantial working capital, with approximately 40% of the project value needed upfront for long-lead items and vendor advances. Client payments are milestone-based, with final payments often received after project completion. To mitigate bad debt risk, the company exclusively works with top-rated corporate clients, avoiding traditional developers and builders. This strategy ensures payment safety, with bad debts historically less than 0.5%.

    05

    Future Expansion into EPC and Data Centers

    The company is exploring expansion into the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) segment, aiming to handle entire construction projects including civil and RCC work, beyond just interiors. This will expand project ticket sizes. Initially, this will involve partnerships with experienced players while maintaining in-house control. Eleganz also sees significant potential in data center projects, having completed at least 18 such projects, and acknowledges the high PAT margins (25-30%) available in this segment.
