Quarter read
What the record says.
IHCL delivered its 15th consecutive record quarter, with consolidated revenue of INR 2,900 crore (+12% YoY), EBITDA of INR 1,134 crore (+11% YoY), and PAT of INR 668 crore (+15% YoY), the highest ever quarterly PAT. EBITDA margin was 39.1%, with hotel segment EBITDA crossing INR 1,000 crore for the first time. Growth was driven by 9% RevPAR expansion (7% from ARR), strong international performance (San Francisco RevPAR +50%), and acquisitions (amã, Pride, Atmantan, Brij). Management guided for 12-14% revenue growth in Q4 and FY27, supported by 60+ hotel openings, high-teens management fee growth, and 25%+ growth in new verticals. Risk: execution on the large pipeline and integration of multiple acquisitions could strain margins in the near term.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects 12-14% consolidated revenue growth in Q4 and FY27, driven by like-for-like growth, 60+ openings, and acquisitions.
- Management fee income expected to grow in high teens in FY27, supported by 60+ openings and sustained signings.
- Ginger and new verticals expected to deliver 25%+ revenue growth, supported by integration benefits and scale efficiencies.
- Upon stabilization (expected 3 years after completion), Taj Bandstand will contribute INR 1,000+ crore top line with ~50% EBITDA margin.
Risks flagged
- One-off expenses of INR 20-25 crore in Q3 due to acquisitions; integration of amã, Pride, Brij, Atmantan could pressure near-term margins.
- Taj Palace Delhi renovation (130 rooms out of order) impacted Q3; London renovation ongoing. Displacement could affect near-term revenue.
- Management noted underperformance in Sri Lanka and Maldives; geopolitical or economic factors could persist.
- Analyst questioned lower standalone ARR growth (6%); management attributed to mix, but peers reported stronger ARR in some cities.
