I now hand the conference over to Mr. Senthil Kumar, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations, Knowledge Realty Trust. Thank you and over to you, Mr. Senthil. Senthil Kumar: Thank you. Good evening to everyone joining us today. On behalf of the management team, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all participants of Knowledge Realty Trust Q1 FY27 Earnings Call. Before we proceed, a couple of important disclosures. I would like to highlight that the management may make certain comments that may constitute forward-looking statements. Please be advised that our actual results may differ materially from these statements. KRT does not guarantee these statements or results and is not obliged to update them at any point of time. Joining me today on the call are Shirish Godbole, our CEO, and Neeraj Toshniwal, our CFO. We will start off with brief remarks on the macro environment, our business and financial performance, and then open the floor to questions. Over to you, Shirish. Shirish Godbole: Thank you, Senthil, and a very warm welcome to everyone joining us for our Q1 FY27 earnings call. We start the new financial year against a backdrop of continued global uncertainty. However, India's office market has once again demonstrated its structural resilience, anchored by GCC expansion and Grade A demand. Office absorption reached 44 million square feet during the first half of calendar year '26, with GCCs contributing 44% of the demand. Coming to KRT, we enter FY27 with strong operating momentum. Revenue and NOI for the quarter grew 15% year-on-year to INR1,243 crores and INR1,112 crores respectively. We are also pleased to announce a distribution of INR1.7 per unit for the quarter, aggregating to INR752 crores, a strong 5% growth from the previous quarter. Turning to our operating performance, occupancy increased to 93%, up from 92% last quarter. This was driven both by front office demand, which contributed over 50% of our gross leasing. We completed new leasing of 0.7 million square feet and renewals of 0.7 million square feet as well, taking total gross leasing for the quarter to 1.4 million square feet. We continue to pivot our portfolio to annual escalations to create a compounding rental growth profile. During the quarter, 93% of our leasing had annual escalations. Our occupier-first strategy has resulted in client stickiness and multifold growth by our existing clientele. We are happy to inform that 58% of our new leasing this quarter came from existing tenant expansions. Interestingly, these tenants come from varied sectors: a leading semiconductor firm, one of the largest lens makers, the largest travel tech firm, and a large Indian bank. We have highlighted the details in our investor presentation. Page 2 of 13 Knowledge Realty Trust July 28, 2026 Given the ongoing market conversations around AI's impact on office demand, I would like to highlight how KRT's portfolio is resilient. We have three strong levers: our GCC exposure, where occupiers are increasingly taking on higher value, more complex work; our negligible exposure to the traditional IT services model, which is where the disruption is perceived to be the most; and our front office portfolio, which continues to perform strongly. Our front office portfolio in Mumbai represents some of India's finest business addresses occupied by global consulting firms, multinational corporates, as well as headquarters of major Indian conglomerates. Our Mumbai occupancy reached 92%, up 3% from last quarter. This was primarily driven by our Central Mumbai cluster, which reached 93% occupancy, up 14% since March 2025. Coming to our mark-to-market potential across the portfolio, it is a sizable 25%, and we continue to realize this upside every quarter. For instance, this quarter, we realized an average spread of 35% on new leasing and 29% on renewals. Early terminations in our portfolio presented further repricing opportunities over and above the embedded mark-to-market profile. For instance, in Knowledge City in Hyderabad, we signed 44,000 square feet with a marquee global financial services occupier at INR122 a square foot, where the in-place rent was INR80. Likewise, in Exora in Bangalore, we signed 85,000 square feet with a large technology GCC at INR93 per square foot, where the outgoing rent was INR59. On the ground, our Life at KRT platform continued to bring our campuses to life through sports, wellness, and cultural programs across the portfolio. It was a busy quarter with a corporate sports league and International Yoga Day celebrations at Sattva Global City in Bangalore, an indoor sports league at Kosmo One in Chennai, and a Pickle and Padel ball tournament in One World Center in Mumbai. This continued investment in hospitality-led service and tenant experience remains a deliberate driver of retention and, over time, pricing power. As we look ahead, our embedded growth levers remain firmly in place, contracted growth from escalations, embedded growth from occupancy ramp-up, delivery of under-construction assets, and sizable mark-to-market potential. We also remain active in evaluating third-party acquisition opportunities that are accretive and aligned with our portfolio strategy. We continue to see grow [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
