I now hand the conference over to Mr. Umesh Uttamchandani, Managing Director of Dev
Accelerator Limited. Thank you and over to you, sir.
Umesh Uttamchandani: Thank you so much for setting this up and very good afternoon to everyone. A warm welcome
to Dev Accelerator Limited Q2 and first half ended September 30th, 2026. I hope all of you
have gone through the Investor Presentation and the media release that we have uploaded on
the Stock Exchanges.
Before I run through the company, it has been a brilliant day for us as we woke up to see that
India has beaten New Zealand fairly easily in the first ODI that was being played, at the grounds
of New Zealand. That was a proud moment for us.
Now coming on to the summary of running through our business, I'll first start with how the
quarter has been performed for us and then spend some time on the expansion taking place
across DevX. Following that, I'll take you through the capability that we are building around
our GCC Platform, design and technology, and finally address our capital structure and the
priorities for the second half. This quarter, to be very honest, has been very meaningful to us
because we have achieved the highest ever quarterly revenue of INR 80.2 crores.
The revenue has substantially increased by 54.8% compared to the previous corresponding
quarter last year, while profit after tax has tripled to INR 5.5 crores. The capacity that we have
been discussing in our previous calls is now contributing to our revenue, and our clients are also
taking more services from us.
Before I jump onto detailed numbers for the entire quarter, we have been surrounded with strong
geopolitical environment. Despite that, we kind of made strong progress in the operating
business. Not only us, the entire industry has been scaling and growing. There was a recent
report by CBRE which states that the office leasing across India's top 9 cities has reached a
staggering 66.4 million square feet up till now, and it has been up by 8% on a year-on-year
basis.
More strongly is the fact that our global capability centers have taken 28 million square feet out
of that, which is roughly 42%. So flexible workspace is now becoming the prime real estate
consumer of office spaces, and also the share of the industry is growing in the entire leasing
sector.

Colliers, in their report, mentions that the flexible operators leased 12.6 million square feet
across top 7 markets in the same period, which is up by 37% and roughly 23% of the overall
leasing. And the most important piece to cover here is that top 7 markets has been covered,
which does not include the cities wherein we operate, cities like Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Indore,
Kochi where we have almost half a million square feet of our operations. So that showcases the
tailwinds that this industry has to offer for us.
Coming to the numbers, our consolidated revenue from operations for Q2 FY27 was INR 80.2
crores compared to INR 51.8 crores in Q2 FY26. On a sequential basis, our revenue increased
by 49.2% from INR 53.8 crores in the previous quarter. On a standalone basis, which largely
represents our core functionality of providing office space solutions, the revenue increased by
51.7% on a year-on-year basis to INR 63 crores compared to INR 41.5 crores in the
corresponding quarter last year.
For the first half, our consolidated revenue has already reached INR 134 crores, that represents
a growth of 24.7%. Our standalone revenue has also increased by 30.5% to INR 105 crores in
the first half of this year. One of the developments that we referred during our previous call was
the revenue contribution from the bigger asset in Ahmedabad, which is Capital One. That asset
has become operational today, and its contribution is also visible in our numbers.
As more of our as future signed capacity becomes operational, we expect the contribution from
these centers to reflect in our performance in the coming quarters.
Now coming to profitability, our consolidated EBITDA under Ind-AS increased by 54.3% year-
on-year basis to INR 40.8 crores with a margin of 50.8%. Consolidated profit before tax was
INR 6.3 crores compared to INR 1.7 crores last year, while our PAT increased to INR 5.5 crores
from INR 1.8 crores.
The first half of FY27, consolidated EBITDA increased by 34.4% to INR 71.1 crores. EBITDA
margin improved to 53% compared to 49.2% in the corresponding period last year. Our profit
after tax for the first half reached a staggering INR 7 crores compared to INR 1.9 crores in the
previous half.
I think one important point to understand here is that our overheads also have not increased at
the same pace as our revenues. Our employees cost also remain largely unchanged during the
first half. While other expenses decreased from 11% to 1.7% of the entire revenue. So, the
revenue base has increased largely, and we have been able to achieve operating leverage across
the platform.
As I have explained earlier, we also look at performance after rental outflows to understand the
underlying economics of our workspace operations. Our consolidated cash EBIT, which we
have defined in the press release as EBITDA less lease rental paid more than doubled to INR
19.1 crores during the quarter compared to INR 9.1 crores last year. So, the margin has improved
significantly to 23.8% from 17.5%, which is an improvement of 625 basis points.

For the first half, our cash EBIT reached to INR 31.5 crores with a margin of 23.5% compared
to 17.9% in the first half of FY26. These numbers help us to understand the operating surplus
after paying the lease rentals before the impact of working capital and other cash outflows.
On standalone basis, EBITDA under Ind-AS increased by 58.8% to INR 43.9 crores with a
margin of 69.7% as compared to 66.6% in Q2 FY26. So, the first half, the standalone EBITDA
was 71.6% with margin of 68.2%. So, the core workspace business continues to demonstrate
the economics that we have been discussing with all of you, and that gives us the confidence in
bringing the additional capacity into operation.
