Arvind SmartSpaces reported a consolidated net profit of ₹97 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), marking a sharp year-on-year increase of 708% from ₹12 crore in the corresponding period last year. This strong bottom-line performance underscores the company’s scaling capabilities as it expands its portfolio across commercial and residential segments, supported by a 147% surge in new bookings to ₹432 crore. The Ahmedabad-based developer saw its revenue from operations more than triple to ₹318 crore from ₹102 crore in Q1FY26, driven by accelerated project completions, robust sustenance sales, and improved operational efficiency.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results on August 7, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. During the same meeting, the Board noted the resignation of M/s. S R B C & Co LLP as Statutory Auditors effective August 7, 2026. On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, M/s. Walker Chandiok & Co LLP was appointed as Statutory Auditors to fill the casual vacancy, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing 18th Annual General Meeting (AGM), for a term of five consecutive years commencing from the conclusion of the 18th AGM until the 23rd AGM in 2031.

Financial Performance Highlights

Arvind SmartSpaces demonstrated robust top-line growth alongside significant margin expansion. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA stood at ₹152 crore, compared to ₹25 crore in Q1FY26. The company’s ability to manage costs effectively contributed to this surge, with land development costs rising proportionally with revenue but other expenses remaining controlled. Net operating cash flow improved significantly to ₹81 crore from ₹27 crore in the previous year. Collections amounted to ₹336 crore, up 76% from ₹191 crore in the prior year, reflecting strong demand and efficient execution.

Strategic Developments and Business Growth

A key strategic move during the quarter was the acquisition of 49% equity shares in Oxford Navrang Realtors Pvt. Ltd. (ONRPL) through subsidiary Arvind Skyline Pvt. Ltd. Although holding less than 50% equity, Arvind SmartSpaces exercises de-facto control over ONRPL’s operations based on share purchase and shareholders’ agreements. Consequently, ONRPL has been accounted for as a subsidiary under Ind AS 110, treated as an asset acquisition. This expansion adds to the group’s footprint in the Gujarat real estate market.

In April 2026, the Company entered into a joint development agreement for a high-rise residential project in Goregaon, Mumbai, with an estimated revenue potential of approximately ₹2,400 crore and a saleable carpet area of around 0.67 million sq.ft. In June 2026, the Company added a residential horizontal development project in Metal, South Ahmedabad, under a joint development model, with an estimated topline potential of approximately ₹180 crore and a saleable area of around 2.5 million square feet. These additions align with the strategy of strengthening presence in focus markets while maintaining disciplined capital allocation.

What the Numbers Show

The dramatic jump in net profit relative to revenue growth indicates significant operating leverage. While revenue increased by approximately 212%, pre-tax profits grew by over 500%, suggesting that fixed costs were spread over a larger revenue base or that higher-margin projects were completed during the quarter. The company’s long-term credit rating was upgraded to AA- (Stable) by India Ratings from earlier "A+", reflecting the disciplined approach to growth and enhanced financial flexibility. With a net debt-to-equity ratio of 0.29x as on June 30, 2026, compared to 0.26x as on March 31, 2026, the balance sheet remains healthy. Management expects to add ₹4,000–5,000 crore of new projects and achieve approximately 35%-40% growth in bookings this year.

Arvind SmartSpaces has disclosed that M/s. S R B C & Co LLP has resigned as the statutory auditor for its three material subsidiaries: Arvind Hebbal Homes Private Limited, Arvind Homes Private Limited, and Arvind SmartHomes Private Limited. The resignation, effective August 7, 2026, stems from two distinct drivers: regulatory tenure limits for one subsidiary and a strategic decision to align audit functions with the holding company’s group auditor for the other two. This consolidation aims to streamline oversight across the group structure.

The Board of Directors of each respective subsidiary recorded the resignation during meetings held on August 7, 2026. The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and SEBI Master Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026, dated July 11, 2023, last updated on January 30, 2026. S R B C & Co LLP confirmed there are no other material reasons for the resignation and no concerns regarding management-imposed limitations or lack of information.

For Arvind Hebbal Homes Private Limited, the resignation is driven by regulatory constraints. S R B C & Co LLP completed ten consecutive years of service, from 2016-17 to 2025-26. Under Section 139(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 6 of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014, the firm’s tenure concluded upon reaching the maximum permissible term. The firm had been re-appointed at the 11th Annual General Meeting held on August 12, 2022.

In contrast, the departures from Arvind Homes Private Limited and Arvind SmartHomes Private Limited are strategic. Both subsidiaries appointed S R B C & Co LLP at their respective first and fourth Annual General Meetings held on August 1, 2023. The holding company’s management decided to align the statutory auditors of these subsidiaries with affiliates of the group auditor following S R B C & Co LLP’s vacating of the role at the holding company level. This move standardizes the audit framework across the corporate group.

Auditor Transition Details

S R B C & Co LLP confirmed it has completed the statutory audit of financial statements for all three subsidiaries for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The final audit reports were issued on May 20, 2026. The firm stated it has not commenced the audit for the year ending March 31, 2027. As required by the Companies Act, 2013, the firm will file a statement in Form ADT-3 with the Registrar of Companies.

What the Numbers Show

The simultaneous resignation across multiple entities highlights a shift in governance strategy rather than a dispute. While Arvind Hebbal Homes’ departure is mandatory due to the ten-year rotation rule under the Companies Act, the early exit from Arvind Homes and Arvind SmartHomes—whose terms were scheduled to expire in 2028—indicates a deliberate centralization of audit services. This alignment likely reduces compliance complexity and ensures uniform accounting policies across the Arvind SmartSpaces group, though it necessitates the appointment of a new auditor for the two subsidiaries whose terms were cut short.
