For Immediate Release

NILA Infrastructures Ltd announces audited financial results for Q4-FY2021 and FY2021

Ahmedabad, June 21, 2021: The Board of Directors of Nila Infrastructures Ltd (BSE: 530377/NILA; NSE: NILAINFRA) at its meeting held at Ahmedabad on June 19, 2021, approved the Audited Financial Results for the quarter and year ended on March 31, 2021.

The Company is engaged in construction of Civic Urban Infrastructure that the government had ordered for lockdown, right from the first phase (i.e. March 25, 2020), in order to contain the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, operations of the Company were ceased during H1-FY2021, while it faced certain constraints in availability of: (i) labourers and (ii) clear-working-days due to heavy monsoon during Q2-FY2021. These have affected the financials of the Company, however from Q2-FY2021 the Company has attained recovery in operations to a reasonable extent. The Company is keeping an active watch on the latest developments and is recalibrating its execution strategies accordingly.

Standalone Financial highlights for the quarter and year ended on March 31, 2021:

  • During Q4-FY2021, the total revenue of the Company was 384.2 million i.e. higher by 6.4 million to Q3-FY2021's revenue of 377.7 million. Profitability at EBIDTA level has also improved to a large extent to 89.2 million i.e. higher by 49.9 million compared to Q3-FY2021's EBITDA of 39.3 million. The Company reported a profit of 43.4 million i.e. higher by 24.1 million compared to Q3-FY2021's profit of ` 19.3 million.
  • For FY2021, the total revenue of the Company was 1,111.1 million compared to 2,633.3 million in FY2020. The EBIDTA for FY2021 was 94.0 million which also negated the effect of loss reported in H1-FY2021 and the Company was able to report a marginal profit of 4.9 million for FY2021.
  • As on March 31, 2021, the Standalone Networth of the Company was 1,439.1 million and Standalone Gross Debt was 1,454.5 million, while the Cash and Bank Balances on the standalone basis was ` 189.4 million. The Net debt to Networth computes to 0.88x.

Commenting at this juncture Mr. Deep Vadodaria, Chief Operating Officer said:

"We are glad to demonstrate resilience to counter the impact of the COVID-19 induced disorder, which constrained our financials during H1-FY2021. The Company could generate limited revenues during FY2021 mainly as H1-FY2021 was lackluster while the Second-wave broke in Q4-FY2021. Meanwhile, certain running projects had attained completion-stage, while the fresh orders were in planning phase and hence, could not contribute much to the revenue.

Looking ahead, the Social Housing segment is set to chart a new chapter of growth, fueled by affordability, reinforced desire to own a house and renewed interest from all stakeholders. During Q4- FY2021, we have added four (4) meaningful and strategic orders aggregating ` 587.7 million to construct EWS flats at Jaipur for Jaipur Development Authority (JDA). These would provide for 1,192 flats in approx. 30 months. We believe our satisfactory engagement in Civic Urban Infrastructure segments, adherence to stipulated cost, quality and timeline put us in a good position to capture plentiful growth opportunities.

With the nationwide vaccinations drive gaining momentum, we believe this would ensure sufficient and constant availability of healthy manpower. The improving sentiment with the reopening of the economy, especially in Gujarat, is providing requisite impetus to further the economic growth. A series of stimulus packages by the government is also catalyzing the economic activities. These trends shall also reflect in our business and results. We now look forward to a resilient FY2022."

Order-book:

At March 31, 2021 the Company has confirmed and practically executable order-book of ` 5,558.4 million. The summary is furnished further.

In line with ethos of the good corporate governance, ethical practices, fairness, and transparency; the confirmed-unexecuted Order-book at 1-Apr-2021 is prudently reduced and/or realigned to depict the factual revenue potential. The book-to-bill ratio is not comparable at this point in time.

The Company's order-book is quite balanced with a focus on its core competence of "Affordable Housing" with 87% orders ( 4,849.0 million); while for de-risking 13% is from other Civic Urban Infrastructure projects (e.g. bus-ports). High-margin PPP is the major tributary with 67% orders ( 3,726.4 million). Geographically, the state of Gujarat accounts for 80% orders ( 4,462.7 million), and Principal wise government entities account for 87% ( 4,831.6 million). The major Government clientele comprise Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), Government of Rajasthan. Overall, the Company is executing construction of 8,778 units of affordable housing.

Note: The figures for the corresponding periods have been restated, reclassified, regrouped and rearranged wherever necessary.

Operating review for FY2021 (Standalone):

  • The profitability at EBIDTA level has reduced mainly due to reduction in operational efficiency on back of change in revenue-mix i.e. higher contribution from low-margin projects.
  • The project/operations cost and other costs have increased with a few projects being in preliminary stage.
  • The employee cost has reduced due to reduction in overall employee base.
  • The depreciation and amortisation expense has increased, while net-block of PPE has increased mainly on back of fresh purchase of a building.
  • The Company has successfully re-negotiated the RoI with the lenders for existing as well as fresh debt and has lowered the finance cost.
  • The overall reduction in income has constrained PBT, which has been offset at PAT level mainly due to lower income tax amount. The net tax payable for FY2021 is reduced mainly owing to reduction in overall reduction in income.
  • None of the Bank Guarantees submitted by the Company has ever been invoked by any Principal/Client.
