The company posted a net profit of ₹65.5 crore for the quarter ended March 2026, higher than ₹36.5 crore in the same period last year, up by almost 80% year-on-year.

Revenue from operations grew 29% to ₹696 crore for the quarter, helped by higher leasing activity from large corporate clients and expansion by existing customers.

Margins Improve On Operating Leverage

WeWork India reported an improvement in profitability metrics during the quarter. EBITDA margin expanded by 231 basis points year-on-year to 23.2%, supported by operating leverage and stronger utilisation across its workspace portfolio.

The company said enterprise clients remained the largest contributor to business during the quarter, accounting for 77% of core revenue in Q4 FY26.

Occupancy levels also strengthened during the reporting period. Overall portfolio occupancy stood at 86.9%, while mature centres reported occupancy of 88.9%, according to the company’s statement.

The company added that more than half of the new desk sales recorded during FY26 came from existing members, indicating continued expansion demand from current clients.

Expenses Rise Alongside Expansion

Total expenses increased 18.3% year-on-year during the quarter. The rise was attributed to higher employee benefit expenses, finance costs and operating expenditure linked to portfolio growth and business expansion.

Karan Virwani, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of WeWork India, said FY26 marked a significant year for the company and the broader flexible workspace sector. He stated that the company expanded its footprint during the year while maintaining occupancy and pricing discipline.

Virwani also said the company turned net debt negative for the first time and more than doubled its profit after tax during the financial year.

Flexible Workspace Demand Remains Strong

Demand for managed office and flexible workspace solutions has continued to increase in India, particularly from large enterprises adopting hybrid work models and seeking shorter leasing commitments.

The segment has also seen rising participation from technology firms, global capability centres and startups over the past year.

Following the earnings announcement, WeWork India shares closed at ₹580 apiece, up 19% from the previous session. Despite the sharp post-results rally, the stock remains down around 7.5% on a year-to-date basis.
