Real estate developer Godrej Properties has reported a decline in net profit for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2024-25, even as its revenue saw a substantial increase.
The company posted a net profit of ₹382 crore for Q4 FY25, marking a 19% year-on-year (YoY) decline from the ₹471 crore recorded in the corresponding period last year. This fall in profitability occurred despite consolidated revenue from operations surging by a significant 48.77% YoY, climbing to ₹2,122 crore in the quarter ending March 2025, compared to ₹1,426 crore in Q4 FY24.
The company's operational performance, as measured by earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA), also registered a dip. EBITDA decreased by 6% YoY, settling at ₹567 crore in Q4 FY25, down from ₹601 crore in the same quarter the previous year. This contraction in operational earnings came alongside a significant rise in expenditures. Total expenses for the March 2025 quarter escalated sharply by 54% YoY, reaching ₹2,079 crores. Consequently, the net profit margin saw a considerable reduction, declining sharply to 14.4% in Q4 FY25 from 24.1% in Q4 FY24.
Godrej Properties demonstrated robust sales performance during the quarter. The company recorded its highest-ever quarterly booking value, totalling ₹10,163 crore in Q4 FY25. This figure represents a 7% increase and was achieved through the sale of 3,703 homes, covering a total area of 7.52 million sq. ft..
Godrej Properties achieved a key milestone in Q4 FY25, surpassing ₹10,000 crore in booking value for the first time. This marked the seventh straight quarter with bookings above ₹5,000 crore. The company also launched 12 new projects and phases across five cities during the quarter.
Following the announcement of the Q4 results, Godrej Properties' share price exhibited some volatility. As of 2 pm on the day of the announcement, the stock was trading higher by 1.69% at ₹2,195.40 apiece on the BSE. Looking at the longer term, the shares have seen a decline of 14.54% over the last year and are down 22% on a year-to-date basis. The company's market capitalisation stands at ₹65,690 crore.
The Q4 performance presents a mixed picture, pairing strong sales momentum and revenue growth with a decline in reported profit and operating margins, highlighting cost pressures during the period.
