  • (1888PressRelease) May 28, 2021 - Commenting on the performance for Q3 & 9M FY21, Mr. Gopal Sarda, Group CEO, KoltePatil Developers Limited said, “Q3FY21 was the best ever quarter for KPDL in terms of collections - highest ever in the company’s three-decade history. On a sequential basis collections have nearly doubled signaling the turnaround in our ecosystem where sales, registrations, construction and CRM are all functioning optimally. We are also glad to share, the month of January has seen collections at Rs. 160 crore, which is our best ever monthly number. We are expecting to sustain the momentum and report strong collections in Q4FY21.

    We have managed to reduce our Net Debt by Rs. 83 crore during the last quarter despite the final tranche payment to ICICI Venture. Our Net Debt/Equity is at 0.29 x, which is lowest it has been in the last few years. Given our collections outlook and low interest outgo we expect to deliver healthy free cash flows despite FY21 being a pandemic year.

    Further, we closed the quarter with an expected improvement in sales momentum that will allow us to achieve our stated guidance of 1.8 msf for FY21. Sales growth was driven by improved performance across our three geogaphies of Pune, Bengaluru and Mumbai. Further, realizations improved both YoY and QoQ due to increased contribution from Mumbai portfolio.

    Towards the end of December we launched a project each in Pune and Mumbai. Evara, at Borivali has received strong interest from Mumbai buyers since its launch in December end. We are excited to soon launch Hari Ratan, Goregaon and Sagar Vaibhav, Dahisar soon as the demolition of existing structures has already taken place at both the sites. With four projects at Mumbai including Jai Vijay, the coming quarters will see increased contribution from our Mumbai portfolio.

    Universe at Sector R10, Life Republic has witnessed strong digital as well as physical response with over 200 units booked in 25 days since its launch. The sales velocity at this project, buyout of stake from internal accruals and strategic monetization within a short period of time showcase the intrinsic value creation prospects at this township.

    Recently, we had added three new projects with a combined saleable area of 2.2 msf under revenue share and profit share structures which will strengthen our market share in Pune. The expected Total Topline from these projects is ~Rs. 1,500 crore and KPDL PBT is of ~Rs. 220 cr, which will further improve our ROCEs. We are focused on meaningful (both in terms of area and value) additions to our portfolio across Pune, Bengaluru and Mumbai in the coming quarters.

    We welcome the FY22 Union Budget where the government has discarded its fiscal conservatism and shifted gears towards enhancing long-term growth potential of India through aggressive capex allocation and mix of reforms. The 2020 crisis has transformed the entire real estate ecosystem where all the stakeholders including Developers, Channel Partners, Bankers, Governments and Consumers are choosing prudence, transparency, quality and execution; moving towards being truly ‘Aatmanirbhar’. These qualities have been hallmarks of Kolte-Patil’s self-sustainable business model and we expect to scale up strongly as this leg of consolidation unfolds in the coming years.”
