DevX, an office space provider, reported a consolidated net profit of ₹1.5 crore in Q1 FY27, a more than tenfold increase from ₹14 lakh in the same period last year. However, the profit fell 81% sequentially from ₹8 crore in Q4 FY26. Operating revenue declined 3.2% year-on-year to ₹53.8 crore, while total income including other income stood at ₹56.7 crore, the company disclosed in its financial results this week, according to inc42.com.
The company’s total expenses in Q1 FY27 were ₹55.2 crore, slightly lower than ₹56 crore in the year-ago quarter but 6.8% higher than the previous quarter. DevX earned ₹1.6 lakh from an associate and incurred tax expenses of ₹7 lakh. The board approved reappointing Jaimin Shah as a nominee director representing promoter firm Dev Information Technology Ltd. It also approved amending the memorandum of association to expand into co-working, managed and serviced office spaces, property and facilities management, workplace services, recruitment, and IT-enabled services, subject to stakeholder approval, inc42.com reported.
The financial results reflect a challenging environment for office space providers amid evolving workplace trends. The sequential profit decline contrasts with the year-on-year growth, highlighting volatility in the sector. DevX’s move to diversify into allied business services aligns with broader industry shifts toward flexible and integrated workplace solutions. The company’s plan to raise up to ₹100 crore through listed, secured, rated non-convertible debentures via private placement aims to support this expansion strategy, according to the filing.
DevX’s next key milestone is securing stakeholder approval for the proposed business diversification and the ₹100 crore NCD issuance. The company’s board decisions signal a strategic pivot to capture emerging opportunities in the co-working and managed office segments, with financial results for Q2 FY27 expected to reveal the initial impact of these initiatives, inc42.com noted.
