    Q&A highlights

    3

    “As construction activity picks up, collections also tend to improve... we've onboarded greater contractors. So for instance, in Deluxe DXP, we've onboarded Ahluwalia Contracts. As far as Titanium is concerned, we've onboarded Capacit'e.”

    Analysts were concerned that construction spend (₹4-5bn/qtr) was lagging behind high sales; management explained this is a transition phase to larger contractors.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Premiumization Strategy Drives Realizations

    SignatureGlobal is successfully pivoting from affordable housing to the premium segment, as evidenced by the Cloverdale launch in Sector 71, Gurgaon. Realizations for this project crossed ₹16,000 per sq ft, representing a 12-13% increase over the previous phase (Titanium) launched just a year ago. The average ticket size has also climbed to ₹3.4 crores per unit, up from ₹2.5 crores previously, reflecting the company's focus on higher-value inventory.

    02

    Execution Model Transition to Tier-1 Contractors

    The company is undergoing a strategic shift in its construction approach, moving away from smaller, tiered contractors to Tier-1 firms like Ahluwalia Contracts, Capacit'e, and Arabian Construction Company. While this transition has kept quarterly construction spend in the ₹400-500 crore range, management expects this to scale to ₹700-800 crores per quarter by the next calendar year. This move is intended to support the delivery of complex high-rise projects and improve long-term execution quality.

    03

    Massive Launch Pipeline for FY26

    Management has set an ambitious target to launch over 10 million sq ft of new projects in FY26, with a total GDV potential of approximately ₹17,000 crores. Key upcoming launches include 3-3.5 million sq ft in Sector 37D and 4 million sq ft in Sector 71. These launches are critical to meeting the company's annual pre-sales guidance of ₹125 billion, of which ₹26 billion was achieved in Q1.

    04

    Financial Profile and Margin Outlook

    In Q1 FY26, the company recognized ₹8.7 billion in revenue with an EBITDA margin of 11%. Management noted that as the composition of mid-income and premium housing in the revenue mix increases, the margin profile is expected to improve. Currently, about 45% of completions are still from the Affordable Housing Policy (AHP) segment, which has lower realizations (₹6,000-6,500/sq ft) compared to the new premium launches.

    05

    Strategic Land Bank and Business Development

    SignatureGlobal maintains a robust land bank of 24+ million sq ft with a GDV potential exceeding ₹40,000 crores. The company continues to actively acquire land, adding 10 acres near its Daxin project in Sohna during the quarter. Management emphasized their preference for owning land outright, with third-party landowner shares accounting for less than 10% of the total portfolio, ensuring higher surplus retention for the company.
