Financial Performance Overview

The company reported a consolidated net loss of ₹453.38 million for Q3FY26, marking a sharp reversal from the ₹291.35 million profit recorded in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This represents a substantial decline in profitability, with earnings per share turning negative at ₹(3.22) compared to ₹2.07 in Q3FY25.

The nine-month performance also showed deterioration, with consolidated net loss reaching ₹577.64 million compared to a profit of ₹400.83 million in the corresponding period of FY25.

Major Fundraising Initiative

During the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025, Signatureglobal issued 87,500 rated, listed, secured, redeemable Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) with a face value of ₹100,000 each, aggregating ₹8,750.00 million on a private placement basis to International Finance Corporation (IFC). The NCDs carry an interest rate of 11% per annum, payable quarterly, and were listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange on October 17, 2025.

The company has fully utilized the proceeds in accordance with Clause 14.5 of the Debenture Trust Deed dated September 30, 2025. The NCDs are redeemable in twelve equal quarterly installments, starting from April 15, 2026, to January 15, 2029.

Security and Collateral Structure

The NCDs are secured by way of first ranking exclusive charge over specified assets of Signatureglobal Business Park Limited (SBPL), the subsidiary company. The security includes approximately 120.404 acres of project land located at Sector 36, Sohna, Haryana, along with all present and future constructions, receivables, development rights, and project escrow accounts.

As per the Debenture Trust Deed terms, the Group maintains a Minimum Security Cover equal to 1.50 times the outstanding principal amount and interest due on the debentures. The market/fair value of SBPL's project land, as per the valuation report issued by a third-party expert registered valuer, stands at ₹36,764.00 million as of December 31, 2025.

Capital Structure and Leverage

The company's financial leverage increased significantly during the quarter. Outstanding debt rose to ₹31,262.21 million from ₹24,499.32 million in the previous year, resulting in a debt-equity ratio of 4.53 compared to 3.66 in Q3FY25. The debt service coverage ratio remained negative at (0.05), indicating challenges in servicing debt obligations from current operations.

Standalone Performance

On a standalone basis, the company reported total income from operations of ₹3,672.08 million for Q3FY26, compared to ₹7,002.71 million in Q3FY25. Standalone net loss after tax was ₹134.82 million versus a profit of ₹277.73 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The standalone debt-equity ratio stood at 3.41 compared to 1.99 in the previous year.

Asset Disposal and Regulatory Updates

The company completed the sale of an investment property in Delhi NCR during the quarter, executing the sale deed on December 30, 2025. This property had been classified as 'asset held for sale' following management's decision in the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Regarding regulatory changes, the Government of India consolidated 29 existing labour legislations into four Labour Codes, which were notified on November 21, 2025. The company assessed the impact of these changes and determined that the effect is not material on the consolidated financial results.

The Board of Directors approved these results at their meeting held on February 3, 2026, following review by the Audit Committee. The results have been subjected to limited review by the company's statutory auditors.

Signatureglobal has revised its future sales growth expectations significantly downward, projecting a 15% growth rate compared to its previous compound annual growth rate of 60%. This adjustment reflects the company's transition from a high-growth phase to a more measured expansion strategy.

Market Performance Context

The revised growth projections come against the backdrop of a dynamic real estate market in Delhi NCR, which witnessed substantial activity during the December quarter 2025. The region recorded a notable 39% increase in new housing launches, indicating continued market vitality despite the company's more conservative growth outlook.

Growth Strategy Transition

The significant reduction in expected growth rates from 60% CAGR to 15% suggests Signatureglobal is entering a phase of operational maturity. This moderation typically occurs as companies scale up and face the natural challenges of maintaining exponential growth rates at larger business volumes.

Regional Market Dynamics

The Delhi NCR real estate market's robust performance, with new housing launches increasing by 39% in the December quarter 2025, provides a supportive environment for real estate developers. This market expansion indicates sustained demand and developer confidence in the region's growth prospects.

Strategic Implications

The company's adjusted growth expectations reflect a strategic shift toward sustainable expansion rather than aggressive scaling. While the 15% projected growth rate represents a substantial decrease from historical performance, it aligns with industry trends toward more conservative and achievable growth targets in the current market environment.
