APTY’s 4QFY25 earnings, although in line with our estimates, have been below par compared with peers. Consolidated PAT (adjusted for one-offs) declined 42% YoY to INR2.7b (in line) due to a 420bp decline in EBITDA margin to 13% (in line).

In 4QFY25, Brigade Enterprises (BRGD) reported a pre-sales growth of 9% oY to INR24.5b (22% below our estimate), due to a 26% YoY decline in volumes to 2.0msf (50% below our estimate).

Consolidated revenue stood at Rs 47,876 crore, up 6.1% q-o-q/ 27.3% y-o-y nearly in line with our estimates of Rs 47,528 crore, driven by strong underlying momentum in India, rebound in reported CC revenue growth in Africa and full quarter impact of Indus Towers consolidation.
