H1 FY26: ₹124.16 cr

FY25: ₹176.97 cr
Sep 2025: ₹48.57 cr
🔹 FY25 saw a strong recovery in revenue and PAT after relatively weak FY24 profitability
🔸 Real estate rev is milestone/project-progress linked, so year-to-year profit can fluctuate sharply depending on project execution and revenue recognition
♾ Margins and ratios
🔹 EBITDA margin:
FY23: 22.00%
FY24: 14.59%
FY25: 17.21%
H1 FY26: 15.12%

FY24: 6.87%
FY25: 10.41%
H1 FY26: 9.21%

FY23: 48.44%
FY24: 19.12%
FY25: 36.96%
H1 FY26: 7.27%*
🔹 ROCE:
FY23: 14.88%
FY24: 9.85%
FY25: 13.75%
H1 FY26: 6.21%*
🔹 Debt/equity:
FY23: 3.28x
FY24: 2.67x
FY25: 2.70x
Sep 2025: 0.19x
*H1 ratios are not annualised
🔹 Leverage reduced sharply by Sep 2025
🔸 But this needs context: the company raised ₹175 cr through a rights issue in Aug 2025 and subsequently repaid substantial borrowings, so sharp improvement in debt/equity was driven heavily by fresh promoter equity rather than operating cash generation alone
♾ Cash flow
🔹 Operating cash flow:
FY23: +₹42.16 cr
FY24: +₹8.83 cr
FY25: -₹44.00 cr
H1 FY26: -₹17.75 cr
🔹 PAT:
FY25: ₹20.43 cr
H1 FY26: ₹11.53 cr
🔸 Reported profits remained positive while operating cash flow turned substantially negative in FY25 and remained negative in H1 FY26
🔹 Financing cash flow in H1 FY26 was +₹43.65 cr
🔹 During H1 FY26, received ₹175 cr from rights issue and repaid ~₹128.40 cr of borrowings
🔹 Net debt as of Sep 2025 was only ~₹6.16 cr after adjusting borrowings for cash and cash equivalents
🔸 Real estate is working-capital and project-funding intensive, so collections, construction spending and operating cash conversion need to be tracked alongside PAT
♾ Valuation
🔹 FY25 EPS: ₹8.17
🔹 FY25 NAV/share: ₹130.89
🔹 H1 FY26 EPS: ₹4.28, not annualised
♾ Peer
DRHP-listed peers:
🔹 Shriram Properties
🔹 Puravankara
FY25:
🔹 Veegaland EPS: ₹8.17
🔹 Shriram Properties EPS: ₹4.53
🔹 Puravankara EPS: negative
🔹 Shriram Properties P/E: 18.76x
🔹 Puravankara was loss-making
🔸 Direct comparison is not perfect because project geography, development scale, capital structure, product positioning and revenue-recognition cycles differ
♾ Strengths
🔹 Established Kerala residential real estate brand
🔹 Portfolio spans 23 completed, ongoing and upcoming projects
🔹 FY25 revenue jumped 73.67% YoY
🔹 FY25 PAT increased from ₹7.87 cr to ₹20.43 cr
🔹 Sales value increased from ₹109.62 cr in FY23 to ₹342.05 cr in FY25
🔹 Average selling price increased from ~₹6,674/sq ft in FY23 to ~₹7,598/sq ft in H1 FY26
🔹 509 of 695 units in ongoing projects were already sold as of Oct 2025
🔹 Balance sheet leverage reduced substantially after ₹175 cr rights issue
🔹 IPO proceeds primarily directed towards project development and future land acquisition
♾ Watch-outs
🔹 100% of completed, ongoing and upcoming projects are concentrated in Kerala
🔸 Any slowdown in Kerala residential demand, regulatory changes, floods/monsoon disruption or regional economic weakness can affect the entire business
🔹 Operating cash flow was -₹44.00 cr in FY25 despite ₹20.43 cr PAT and remained -₹17.75 cr in H1 FY26
🔸 Profit-to-cash conversion is an important number to monitor
🔹 FY25 borrowings rose to ₹176.97 cr before falling to ₹48.57 cr by Sep 2025
🔸 Reduction came after ₹175 cr rights issue, so balance-sheet improvement was significantly equity-funded
🔹 Revenue, margins and return ratios have fluctuated materially across FY23-FY25
🔸 Real estate revenue recognition depends heavily on construction progress, sales and project milestones
🔹 Construction is executed through independent contractors and specialist agencies
🔸 Contractor delays, quality issues or cost overruns can affect project delivery and margins
🔹 Ongoing and upcoming projects have long execution timelines, with some RERA completion dates extending into 2028-29
🔸 Delays can defer revenue, collections and increase project costs
🔹 Construction materials formed a significant part of operating costs
🔸 Cement, steel, labour and other input inflation can pressure project margins
🔹 Business requires continuous statutory/RERA/project approvals
🔸 Approval delays or changes can affect launch and completion timelines
🔹 Related-party transactions have been sizeable in certain periods, including promoter funding and repayment of promoter loans
🔸 These transactions and future related-party dealings should continue to be monitored
♾ Final
🔹 Veegaland Developers is a Kerala-focused residential developer operating from mid-premium housing to ultra-luxury projects, with 23 completed/ongoing/upcoming projects and ~31.38 lakh sq ft of total saleable area
🔹 Positives are strong FY25 revenue growth, higher sales volumes and selling prices, substantial ongoing-project bookings, sharp reduction in leverage, established promoter background and 100% fresh-issue IPO
🔸 Main watch-outs are complete Kerala concentration, volatile real-estate earnings, negative operating cash flow in FY25 and H1 FY26, dependence on contractors/project execution, construction-cost risk and fact that recent deleveraging was supported by large ₹175 cr rights issue
🛠️ Key things to watch next are final RHP, updated FY26 restated financials, price band, valuation, latest project bookings/collections, cash-flow conversion, IPO dates, anchor book and QIB demand
⚠️ This is not a buy/sell recommendation. IPO GMP is unofficial and changes quickly. Always read the RHP/DRHP, check valuation, risks and your own financial situation before applying
