Commenting on the Q4 & FY24 performance, Kamal Singal, MD and CEO, Arvind SmartSpaces said, “We are pleased to share that FY24 has been a landmark year of the Company with milestones achieved across bookings, collections, and business development. The company has recorded the highest-ever annual bookings of Rs 1,107 crore, a growth of 38% YoY. Brand Arvind continues to be received strongly by homebuyers across newer micro markets. Our new launches including Uplands 2.0 & 3.0, Forest Trails, Arvind Orchards, and Rhythm Of Life, contributed ~70% of our booking value for FY24. Our Bangalore presence remains strong with bookings of Rs 420 crore contributing 38% to the total annual bookings.
FY24 marked an orbital change in our Business Development efforts and we acquired new projects with an expected topline of ~Rs 4,150 crore as against Rs 930 crore in FY23. We have added four new projects in Ahmedabad, and one each in Bengaluru and Surat. We look forward to sustaining this momentum in the coming year as well.
FY24 Collections at Rs 876 crore, a growth of 46% YoY were the highest ever in the Company’s history, a result of efficient execution of the virtuous process of sales, registrations, construction, and deliveries. Strong collections and profitability resulted in net operating cash flows of Rs 458 crore in FY24. Despite increased investments in Business Development activities, our Net Debt remained negative at Rs (41) crore, on account of significant internal accruals.
As a company, the focus always remains on shareholder value creation. We are happy to inform that the Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of Rs 2.5/- per equity share and a special dividend of Rs 1/- per equity share, totalling to a dividend of Rs 3.5/- per equity share of face value of Rs 10/- each.
With an all-time low inventory overhang and a decade-high average pricing growth, demand optimism in the residential markets is likely to continue in the medium term. We are set to further deepen our presence in Gujarat, Bengaluru, and Maharashtra.”
