2-Minute Summary
Wonderla delivered a strong Q4 FY26 with revenue of ₹235 crore (+40% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹43.8 crore (2x YoY), driven by the Chennai park ramp-up and higher guest spend. Full-year revenue grew 13% to ₹518.8 crore, though PAT declined 25% due to a favorable tax reversal in the prior year. Footfalls rose 30% in Q4 to 8.79 lakh, with Chennai contributing 1.91 lakh visitors in its first full quarter. Management highlighted healthy non-ticket revenue growth and improved customer experience scores. For FY27, they expect full-year Chennai contribution and aim for 20% footfall growth at Bhubaneswar. Key risks include macro uncertainty impacting discretionary spend and weather-related disruptions, as seen in Hyderabad's 7% footfall decline for FY26.

FI26 has been a year of execution for us where we have not only strengthened performance across our existing parks but also established a strong foundation in the new market.
We are already looking at expanding to other cities... we are hoping that we can close one or two deals this year.
In mature countries, non-ticket revenue will be higher than ticket revenue. We here have only 30% non-ticket, so there's a lot of headroom.
