Table Space revenue spikes 2X to Rs 780 Cr in FY23; stays profitable

Co-working space solutions provider Table Space has demonstrated solid financial performance in the last fiscal year as the company’s operating scale grew over 97% and neared the Rs 680 crore revenue mark. At the same time, the Bengaluru-based firm remained profitable during FY23. Table Space’s revenue from operations jumped to Rs 678.5 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2023 from Rs 344 crore in FY22, its consolidated financial statements filed with the RoC show. Founded by Amit Banerji in 2017, Table Space provides customized coworking spaces and claims to have a capacity of more than 10 million square feet with 75 plus centers in over 7 cities including Bengaluru. Rental and lease income formed 75% of the total operating revenue which saw a growth of 69% to Rs 512 crore in FY23 from Rs 303 crore in FY22. Facility management, common area maintenance, and sale of food and beverages were some other revenue drivers for the company. Table Space also earned Rs 90 crore from non-operating activities which tallied its total income to Rs 768.5 crore during the last fiscal year (FY23). See TheKredible for the detailed revenue breakup. Its finance and depreciation costs, concerning the lease accounted for 59% of the overall expenditure which surged 2X to Rs 414 crore in FY23. Table Space’s employee benefits, repair cum maintenance, advertising, legal professional, rent and other overheads catalyzed its overall expense up by 118% to Rs 703.8 crore in FY23 from Rs 321.6 crore in FY22. Head to TheKredible for the complete expense breakdown. The decent scale and two-fold growth in other income helped Table Space to increase its profits marginally to Rs 45.9 crore in FY23 from Rs 44.5 crore in FY22. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 9% and 62.3%. The company spent Rs 1.04 to earn a rupee in FY23. Table Space has raised around $330 million across several rounds including a $300 million round from Hillhouse. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Hillhouse is the largest stakeholder with 31.49%. Its core team including Amit Banerji, Karan Chopra, Srinivas Prasad, and Narendra Kumar Kamaraju commands 56.48% of the company. The company competes with the likes of Smartworks, Awfis, IndiQube, WeWork and others. Table Space continues the trend of co-working platforms delivering strong growth, even as it has seen margins shrink at the same time. But being profitable matters, and the firm is poised to benefit all the more from the growth momentum thanks to that. However, the high income from non operating activities might also not be sustainable, which will put further pressure on the bottomline. All out growth versus well considered growth is still a much better problem to have than growth versus survival, however.

Construction goods and services platform Infra.Market maintained its growth trajectory with over 9X surge in gross scale during the last two fiscal years, rising from Rs 1,240 crore in FY21 to Rs 11,846 crore in FY23. Despite the hyper-growth, the Mumbai-based company has remained profitable for the past several fiscal years. While the firm’s profit dipped nearly 17% in FY23, Infra.Market’s gross revenue surged 90% to Rs 11,846 crore in the said fiscal year from Rs 6,236 crore in FY22, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. Infra.Market sells construction materials, infrastructure goods, and technical equipment which accounted for over 96% of its total operating revenue. Collections from these verticals grew nearly 89% to Rs 11,383 crore in FY23 from Rs 6,002 crore in FY22. The company has over 4,000 retail stores with more than 25 exclusive brand outlets across 22 states which is backed by over 100 dedicated manufacturing units. The cost of procurement of materials formed 86% of the overall expenditure. This cost surged 82.1% to Rs 9,974 crore in FY23. As the company hired aggressively to keep up with the growth, its employee benefits grew around 2X to Rs 279 crore in FY23. Infra.Market freight, legal-professional, power-fuel, information technology, and other overheads pushed its total expenditure up by 91.6% to Rs 11,607 crore in FY23 from Rs 6,058 crore in FY22. Check TheKredible for the detailed expense breakup. The notable growth and controlled cost helped Infra.Market to maintain profits which stood at Rs 155 crore during the previous fiscal year. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at 15% and 5.7%, respectively. On a unit level, it spent Rs 0.98 to earn a rupee in FY23. FY22-FY23 FY22 FY23 EBITDA Margin 6% 5.7% Expense/₹ of Op Revenue ₹0.97 ₹0.98 ROCE 10% 15% Infra.Market has raised over $500 million across rounds in a mix of equity and debt. According to the startup intelligence data platform TheKredible, Tiger Global is the largest external stakeholder with 21.33% stake followed by Accel and Nexus Ventures which command 16.87% and 8.46% shares, respectively. Head to TheKredible to see the complete shareholding. In the B2B e-commerce (industrial supply) business, Infra.Market competes with the likes of Zetwerk, OfBusiness and Moglix. Zetwerk’s gross revenue from operations grew 130% to Rs 11,448.6 crore in FY23 with a loss of Rs 108 crore. OfBusiness emerged as the largest player in this space with Rs 15,342 crore revenue and Rs 463 crore profit while Moglix reported Rs 4,595 crore in revenue and Rs 193 crore loss in the last fiscal year. With all key players achieving significant balance sheet size on the back of positive PAT or small losses, the segment is set to consolidate, with the possibility of smaller players being absorbed by the top 3 or 4. The category as a whole has enough space to grow, considering the small size of the organised sector and the many emerging opportunities from India’s push to be a manufacturing hub. Players will be willing to bide their time before they seek margin improvement, as they strengthen their positions in their key segments. Be it Zetwerk in say, renewable energy, or construction industry for another etc. Comfortably placed among the top 3, Infra.Market can be expected to continue to deliver healthy topline growth on the back of a fast growing economy in India. Faster bottomline growth or better margins will require a lower share for procurement of materials, something that we believe will not happen quickly.
