Commenting on the Performance, Mr. Amit Ramani, Chairman and Managing Director, said:
“On 30th May, 2024, Awfis Space Solutions made its debut on NSE and BSE. We are proud that within 9 years of operations, we have been able to create the largest flexible co-working company in India and thefirst one to go public in the Flexible Space industry.
We are pleased to report our Q4 FY24 performance and some key metrics:
We are the largest operator in India with 181 centers, ~1.1 lakh seats and ~5.6 Mn sq.ft. Chargeable area*
Our Revenue from operations grew at 45% YoY
Our EBITDA+ grew at 43% YoY and the margin stood at 31.5%
We are PAT positive in this quarter
Average occupancy stood at 71% overall, and 84% for >12 months vintage centers
Our Managed aggregation supply portfolio remained strong at 66% of seats under this model
Annualized ROCE for the quarter stood at 53%#
One of our key strategies and differentiators is an asset-light, low risk Managed Aggregation supply model. This model works on a revenue/profit share partnership with space owners instead of straight lease, reducing our fixed rental obligations andcapital expenditure.
We strongly believe the co-working industry is at an interesting junction. With increased investments in India by MNCs, continuous growth of the Large Corporate, SME and start up ecosystem we are confident to strengthen our leadership position in the Flexible workspace segment in India.”
