Management highlights
• Market Context and Strategic Alignment - India's digital transformation is moving to large-scale execution, with AI adoption driving growing demand for secure, scalable, interconnected digital infrastructure, creating significant long-term growth opportunities for domestic infrastructure providers. - Sify has aligned its investment strategy with these long-term trends, leveraging its integrated portfolio of data centers, network, and digital services to support enterprise customers modernizing technology environments for AI workloads. • Operational Execution - The quarter focused on strengthening operational foundations via disciplined execution, improved resource utilization, and targeted investments across all business segments to meet emerging demand from AI, cloud, and data-heavy workloads. - Sify expanded its national fiber network to 1,238 fiber nodes, and completed two edge data centers in Tier 2 Indian cities (Lucknow and Chandigarh), with two additional edge facilities under construction. • Financial Discipline - The company maintains a priority of preserving a strong balance sheet, retaining financial flexibility, and delivering long-term shareholder value through disciplined, capital-efficient growth. - For the quarter, adjusted EBITDA was INR 300.5 million (42% year-over-year growth), net profit was INR 65 million, capital expenditure totaled INR 670.8 million, and closing cash balance was INR 4,597 million.
Guidance
• Capital expenditure for the remaining three quarters of the current fiscal year will be higher than the first quarter level, as the company progresses delivery of new data center capacity to customers. - 100 MW of new data center capacity will be completed and delivered in the current fiscal year, with an additional 150 MW under construction. Revenue from the 81 MW of signed capacity will begin generation at the end of Q2, with material revenue contribution starting in Q3 and Q4. - Annual revenue-generating operational data center capacity is expected to be north of 220-230 MW next fiscal year. - The company plans to build 10-12 edge data centers across Tier 2 and Tier 3 Indian cities over the next few years, adding 2-3 new edge facilities per year. - IT Digital Services will focus on reducing quarterly EBITDA losses quarter-over-quarter, with a clear target to reach profitability as soon as possible, with limited near-term revenue growth expected due to the strategic shift from project-based to recurring services revenue. - Network Services is expected to continue delivering steady organic growth in the coming quarters.
Segment performance
Total company revenue for the quarter was INR 1,235.2 million, a 15% increase year-over-year. The three business segments have the following revenue contribution and performance: 1. Network Services: 39% of total quarterly revenue. The segment has grown organically, with 1,238 fiber nodes deployed across India as of quarter-end, a 7% increase year-over-year. 2. Data Center Colocation Services: 42% of total quarterly revenue. The segment sold 5 MW of capacity during the quarter. As of quarter-end, total design capacity of existing data centers is 188 MW, with 134 MW operational and revenue-generating, and 100 MW planned to be delivered in the current fiscal year, with an additional 150 MW under construction. 3. IT Digital Services: 19% of total quarterly revenue. The segment reported negative adjusted EBITDA in the quarter, with revenue declining both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter as the company shifts focus from project-based revenue to recurring services revenue.
Risks & headwinds
• Forward-looking statements regarding future capacity expansion, revenue growth, and profitability are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, including unexpected competitive developments, market demand shifts, and regulatory changes that could cause actual results to differ materially from guidance. - A one-time power tariff increase for one data center facility reduced segment EBITDA margins in the quarter, and full cost pass-through to customers has not yet been finalized, creating near-term margin uncertainty for the data center segment. - A delay in the planned Sify Infinit Spaces IPO could create near-term funding needs for the company's large capital expenditure program, though committed funding support is already in place to address this contingency.
Analyst Q&A
Q: What is the expected timing of the Sify Infinit Spaces IPO, and do you have alternative funding plans if the IPO is delayed? /
A: The company is fully prepared for the IPO, and bankers are currently evaluating market conditions to select an optimal window for the offering. If the IPO is delayed, committed partner Kotak has already agreed to provide equity funding to support the company's growth pipeline, and other strategic investors have also expressed interest in providing capital if needed. The company has no current plans for an intermediate private funding round.
Q: What are Sify's key competitive differentiators that drive its data center market success? /
A: Sify's 20+ years of market presence, established customer base including hyperscalers and large enterprise clients, and footprint across all major Indian metro hubs create a strong market advantage. As an integrated provider, Sify combines data center capacity with proprietary national network connectivity and is developing new cable landing stations, with a strong track record of reliable power availability — these combined capabilities set Sify apart from pure-play data center providers.
Q: What is the outlook for the underperforming IT Digital Services segment? /
A: The segment is shifting its strategic focus from project-based revenue to recurring services revenue, which explains recent year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter revenue declines. Management and the board have set a clear priority to reduce EBITDA losses quarter-over-quarter and move the segment to profitability as soon as possible. Sequential and year-over-year loss reduction has already been achieved in the latest quarter, and the company will continue operational changes to improve results.
Q: Why did data center EBITDA margins decline quarter-over-quarter, and is this the new normal? /
A: The margin decline was a one-off event driven by an unexpected power tariff revision at one data center facility. The company recorded the full cost increase in the current quarter per conservative accounting rules, and is currently negotiating cost pass-through with customers, so any recovered costs will be reflected in future periods.
