2-Min Summary

Royal Orchid Hotels reported a strong Q3 FY26 with revenue from operations growing 26.6% YoY and room revenue surging 45% YoY, driven by the successful launch of Iconica Mumbai which contributed ₹17.4 crore in its initial months. EBITDA grew 13.8% YoY reflecting cost efficiency. The company crossed 10,700 keys across 168+ hotels with 47+ in pipeline. Management guided for ₹420 crore revenue in FY26 and reiterated the ₹500 crore target for FY27-28. Iconica is expected to turn profitable in Q4 with quarterly revenue of ₹23-24 crore, peaking at ₹28-30 crore next year. The subsidiary sale (sub-₹30 crore after tax) will strengthen the balance sheet. Risk: Non-Iconica organic growth remains in single digits, and the 47-pipeline hotel conversion timeline is uncertain.

Chandra Balji · Chairman and Managing Director
Our target for 2030 was to do eight and we announced that in June. Now after that we opened the iconica number one.
Arjun Balji · President
The notion that revenue sharing is more profitable than management actually needs just a little introspection because there is an inherent risk to revenue sharing but when it comes to management right it is pure cash flow.
