UMIYA-MRO - Umiya Buildcon
Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Total revenue from operations grew by 38.76% YoY, increasing from INR 35.03 Cr in FY2024 to INR 48.61 Cr in FY2025. The growth is driven by the company's expansion into the real estate segment alongside its legacy networking business.
Geographic Revenue Split
Not specifically disclosed in percentages, but the company is headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, and listed on the BSE and NSE, suggesting a primary focus on the Indian domestic market.
Profitability Margins
Net Profit Margin for continuing operations improved to 12.17% in FY2025 (INR 5.92 Cr) from 10.10% in FY2024 (INR 3.54 Cr). Profit before tax margin nearly doubled from 9.98% to 15.43% due to higher operational scale.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin stood at approximately 44.65% in FY2025 (INR 21.71 Cr) compared to 42.40% in FY2024 (INR 14.85 Cr). The high margin is characteristic of the real estate development phase where revenue recognition is accelerating.
Capital Expenditure
The company invested INR 0.81 Cr in Property, Plant, and Equipment in FY2025, a significant reduction from the INR 6.76 Cr spent in FY2024. This suggests a shift from asset-heavy manufacturing setup to project-based real estate development.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Historical ICRA ratings were withdrawn. Borrowing costs are high, with finance costs of INR 11.10 Cr in FY2025, representing 22.8% of total revenue, indicating a high-leverage model typical for real estate expansion.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Key inputs include Land and related development costs (INR 9.66 Cr in FY2025), and networking components such as modems, converters, switches, and multiplexers for the hardware division.
Import Sources
Not disclosed in available documents, though networking hardware components are typically sourced from global electronics hubs like China or Taiwan.
Capacity Expansion
The company pivoted to real estate in 2016. Current inventory of INR 16.96 Cr (up 186.7% YoY) indicates a significant expansion in project pipeline and land bank development.
Raw Material Costs
Cost of materials consumed was INR 11.60 Cr (23.8% of revenue) in FY2025, while land and related costs added another INR 9.66 Cr (19.8% of revenue). Total direct project/product costs represent roughly 43.6% of revenue.
Manufacturing Efficiency
The company is transitioning; networking hardware is now a smaller portion of the value proposition compared to the INR 108.91 Cr held in Investment Property.
Logistics & Distribution
Not disclosed as a specific percentage, but the company maintains a registered office and operations in Bengaluru to serve the regional real estate market.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting from hardware-centric networking to software-defined solutions, prompting the company's strategic pivot into the more tangible and high-value real estate development sector in India.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with regional real estate developers in Bengaluru and global networking hardware providers like Cisco or D-Link in its legacy segment.
Competitive Moat
The company's moat lies in its significant land bank and investment properties valued at INR 108.91 Cr, providing a low-cost entry into the competitive Bengaluru realty market compared to new entrants.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to Indian interest rate cycles and urban housing demand in Bengaluru. Real estate sector growth is typically 1.5x to 2x of GDP growth.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward premium residential spaces and integrated commercial hubs in tech-cities like Bengaluru.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade barriers on electronic components could impact the legacy MRO-TEK hardware division's margins.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Subject to RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) compliance for all property developments and BIS standards for networking equipment.
Taxation Policy Impact
Effective tax rate for FY2025 was 21.07% (INR 1.58 Cr tax on INR 7.50 Cr PBT).
Legal Contingencies
The auditor noted exceptions regarding the maintenance of an 'audit trail' as required under Section 143(3)(j) of the Companies Act, which could lead to regulatory scrutiny.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
High leverage risk with finance costs exceeding net profit; negative operating cash flow of INR 16.89 Cr in FY2025 poses liquidity risks if project sales are delayed.
Geographic Concentration Risk
High concentration in the Bengaluru market, making the company vulnerable to local regulatory changes or regional economic downturns.
Third Party Dependencies
Reliance on other auditors for the financial statements of the 100% subsidiary MRO-TEK Private Ltd and the 66.66% partnership Umiya Buildtek.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The legacy networking hardware business faces high risk of obsolescence from cloud-based networking and 5G technologies.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade receivables (billed and unbilled) total INR 4.90 Cr, representing approximately 10% of annual revenue, indicating moderate counterparty risk.
