New Delhi, Delhi, 28th of August, 2024 : Square Yards, India’s largest integrated real estate marketplace, has announced its Q1 FY25 results, reporting an impressive revenue of INR 261 crore (USD 31 million), a 52% year-over-year (YoY) increase. This marks the 12th quarter out of the last 13 where the firm has delivered over 50% YoY growth.
“Q1 has consistently contributed 16-18% of our overall revenue, and based on this trend, we project revenue for FY25 to align with our forecast of INR 1,506 crore (USD 180 million)”, stated Tanuj Shori, Founder and CEO, Square Yards. “We anticipate maintaining gross margins above 25% and EBITDA margins around 7% at the corporate level. Overall, we remain on track for over 50% growth this fiscal year, targeting revenue that reflects a robust four-year CAGR of 50%. More importantly, we expect to remain EBITDA and operating cash flow positive throughout the year. While, the real estate market’s growth across cities has certainly given us a strong tailwind, it’s our unique offerings, the trust our customers place in us, and our continuous focus on leveraging the latest technological innovations that have really made the difference.”
