Smartworks crosses Rs 700 Cr revenue in FY23; losses up 44%

Co-working platform Smartworks has been demonstrating strong growth in the last two fiscal years — its scale grew two-fold to cross Rs 710 crore in revenue in the fiscal year ending March 2023. However, the company’s losses also crossed the Rs 100 crore mark. Smartworks’ revenue from operations surged 97.5% to Rs 711 crore in FY23 from Rs 360 crore in FY22, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. Smartworks provides managed office spaces by leasing properties from real estate developers and subsequently subleasing them to enterprises or companies. The company has a presence across Delhi-NCR, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, and others. Revenue from lease rental accounted for 97% of the total operating revenue which increased 97.4% to Rs 687 crore crore in FY23. The rest of the collections came from allied services. On the expense side, the cost of depreciation and amortization turned out to be the largest cost center accounting for 40.5% of the overall expenses. This cost surged by 67.9% to Rs 356 crore in FY23. Its employee benefits, finance, repairs, electricity, safety, custodial fees, and other overheads catalyzed the firm’s overall expenditure by 80.3% to Rs 880 crore in FY23 from Rs 488 crore in FY22.

On a unit level, it spent Rs 1.24 to earn a rupee in FY23. Gurugram-based Smartworks has raised over $50 million to date including its $25 million Series A round from the Singapore-based Keppel Land. The company is also reportedly in talks to raise $70-90 million. With its focus on managed office spaces besides co-working, Smartworks has sought to serve a larger segment of the market, particularly larger firms that are not so enamored with a co-working option. However, as evident, that can drive up costs a lot more, leaving the firm to travel an extended runway to profitability. With strong revenue momentum and a commercial market that is in very healthy condition, it does look like the firm will be in the black soon, and seeking newer avenues and markets for growth.

Indiqube Spaces lists at discount; market cap hovers at Rs 4,400 Cr Flexible workspace provider Indiqube Spaces made a muffled debut on the stock exchange on Wednesday, listing at Rs 216 on the NSE (National Stock Exchange), a 9% discount to its issue price of Rs 237. While the listing saw a strong response to its Rs 700 crore public offer, which included Rs 650 crore of new shares and Rs 50 crore sold by existing investors, the issue was oversubscribed more than 12 times. Most of the demand came from large institutional investors. At the same time, retail investors bid nearly 13 times the number of shares available to them, while the non-institutional (high-net-worth) category was subscribed to over 8 times. Founded in 2015, Indiqube provides managed workspace solutions to startups, enterprises, and SMEs, with a presence across major Indian cities. The company plans to use the IPO proceeds primarily to repay debt, fund capex, and for general corporate purposes. The tepid listing puts pressure on the company to deliver on its growth plans amid increasing competition in the flexible office segment. While the IPO attracted marquee anchor investors, with investments of Rs 374 crore from HDFC MF, ICICI Pru, Nippon Life, and White Oak, public market investors appear to be treading cautiously. Financially, IndiQube reported a 27.5% YoY revenue growth, clocking Rs 1,059 crore in FY25, compared to Rs 830 crore in FY24. The company also cut its losses by 59% to Rs 139.5 crore, from Rs 341.5 crore a fiscal earlier. Indiqube was trading at Rs 210.85 (as of 11.15 AM) on NSE with a total market capitalization of Rs 4,428 crore (approximately $521 million). It competes with Awfis, which debuted on the stock exchanges in May last year with a strong listing, opening at a 13% premium to its issue price. Smartworks, which went public earlier this month, also saw a positive start, listing at a 7% premium.
