Quarter read
What the record says.
IHCL reported its best-ever Q2 with consolidated revenue of INR 1,481 crore (+18% YoY), EBITDA of INR 402 crore (+26% YoY), and PAT of INR 167 crore (+37% YoY). Standalone EBITDA margin expanded 410 bps to 34.7%. Growth was driven by strong domestic demand, asset management initiatives, and portfolio expansion (18 signings, 9 openings YTD). Management expects the momentum to continue into H2, with Q3 likely to be higher YoY. New businesses (Ginger, Qmin, amã) are scaling, and TajSATS posted record Q2 revenue of INR 213 crore. Risks include softness in US markets (San Francisco, New York) and potential margin pressure from renovation displacement.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- IHCL has already opened 9 hotels YTD and signed 18; management reaffirms guidance to open at least 20 hotels this fiscal year.
- The flagship Ginger property near Mumbai Airport is expected to generate INR 100 crore in annual revenue within three years of stabilization.
- Management expects TajSATS revenue to cross INR 1,000 crore in FY25, driven by airline catering and non-aviation growth.
- Based on strong October performance and business on the books, management expects Q3 YoY growth to be similar or higher than last year.
Risks flagged
- San Francisco may take 3-5 quarters to recover due to macro/social issues; New York and London also face headwinds from strong USD and inflation.
- Ongoing renovations at key properties (e.g., Taj Mansingh, Ginger portfolio) cause temporary revenue displacement, though long-term benefits are expected.
- Analyst raised concern that new supply in non-luxury segments could pressure ARR; management argued demand will outpace supply in metros.
- Despite strong demand, the sector remains cyclical; a downturn could compress margins, though management believes new businesses and asset-light model mitigate risk.
Key quotes
- Our record performance in Q2 makes it the sixth consecutive quarter of best ever performance.
- If you look at the hospitality sector in general across the globe, the recovery has been led by domestic.
- We have no debt and we also have cash reserves.
