Financial Performance at a Glance
The following table summarizes the key financial metrics reported for FY26 and Q4 FY26:
| Metric: | FY26 | Q4 FY26 |
|---|---|---|
| Total Income: | INR3,039 crores | INR1,176 crores |
| YoY Revenue Growth: | 29% | 53% |
| EBITDA: | INR495 crores | — |

| Net Debt: | INR656 crores | — |
| Gross Debt-to-Equity: | 0.6x | — |
| Liquidity Buffer: | INR358 crores | — |
Management highlighted that the blended EBITDA margin improved from approximately 13% in the first nine months of FY26 to 16% for the full year, driven by economies of scale and an optimized product mix. The gross debt-to-equity ratio of 0.6 remained comfortably below the company's internal ceiling of 1:1. The liquidity buffer of INR358 crores at year-end was described as sufficient to fund all requirements for the coming year.
Portfolio Milestone: JDA Mix Achieves Target One Year Early
A significant strategic achievement in FY26 was the shift in portfolio composition. The company had previously guided markets toward a 50-50 split between its legacy Thane land and new joint development agreements (JDAs) by FY27. This milestone was achieved one year ahead of schedule in FY26 itself. The share of JDAs in booking values rose from 22% in FY25 to 54% in FY26.
The JDA portfolio now comprises seven projects with a combined revenue potential of approximately INR17,000 crores based on current prices, including the most recent addition in Kandivali added during FY26. Key micro-markets penetrated through the asset-light JDA model include Bandra, BKC, Wadala, Sion, and Kandivali. For the Kandivali project, Raymond Realty holds a 70% revenue share, with a gross GDV of INR3,000 crores and a targeted EBITDA margin of 20% to 22%.
Thane Land Bank and Q4 Launches
Raymond Realty's 100-acre legacy land parcel in Thane carries a total revenue potential of INR25,000 crores, with approximately 60 acres currently under development at various stages. Annual pre-sales from Thane have averaged between INR1,300 crores and INR1,500 crores, with FY26 recording approximately INR1,400 crores. Management noted that competition in Thane has been intense for over 20 years and that price growth in the micro-market has been marginal, making volume the primary growth lever.
Q4 FY26 was marked by a series of major project launches:
- Address by GS Wadala and Address by GS Sion — combined GDV of approximately INR6,400 crores released into the market
- TenX District 9 — launched in Thane
- Park Street — a retail development in Thane
- The flagship project TenX Habitat, comprising approximately 3,100 homes, was fully sold out and received complete Occupancy Certificate during FY26
The company's total gross development value stands at approximately INR42,000 crores, and its six-year CAGR in booking value since 2021 has been 50%, with reported revenue CAGR at 84% over the same period.
Margin Outlook and Revenue Recognition
Management guided for a blended EBITDA margin in the range of 16% to 18% for FY27, with FY28 expected to show further improvement as recently launched projects mature. The company follows the percentage completion method for revenue recognition, which management said ensures consistency in quarterly reporting and avoids the lumpiness associated with the completed contract method used by some peers.
On construction costs, management indicated a potential 3% to 4% cost impact if commodity price pressures from global supply disruptions persist over a longer period, but expressed confidence in passing on any such increases to the market without a material impact on EBITDA margins.
Cash Flow and Debt Trajectory
Management acknowledged that operating cash flows are expected to remain negative over the next two years as the company continues to invest in new project approvals and portfolio expansion. Internal accruals from Thane are estimated at INR450 crores to INR500 crores per year, with maturing JDAs expected to contribute an additional INR100 crores to INR150 crores, bringing total internal accruals to approximately INR600 crores to INR650 crores annually. The company reiterated its commitment to maintaining a gross debt-to-equity ratio within the 1:1 ceiling. Pending collections from sold inventory stood at approximately INR4,000 crores as of the reporting period. Two additional projects in Mahim are at advanced stages of approval and are expected to launch by Q3 of the current fiscal year, with the Kandivali development slated for FY28.
Historical Stock Returns for Raymond Realty

With operating cash flows expected to remain negative for the next two years, how might Raymond Realty manage its debt levels if the two upcoming Mahim project launches face further regulatory delays beyond Q3 FY27?
Given the intense competition and marginal price growth in Thane, could Raymond Realty's JDA-heavy strategy in premium MMR micro-markets like Bandra and BKC expose it to greater demand volatility if Mumbai's luxury housing market softens?
As the company targets 16-18% blended EBITDA margins for FY27, how sustainable is the current product mix optimization strategy if commodity cost pressures exceed the anticipated 3-4% impact threshold?
