Kamat Hotels Q1 FY27 Revenue Up 10% to ₹91 Crore, EBITDA Jumps 36%
Kamat Hotels reported Q1 FY27 revenue of ₹91 crore, up 10% YoY, and EBITDA of ₹25 crore, up 36% YoY, with margins at 27%. Milind Wadekar joined as CFO. The company is expanding its portfolio with new hotels planned in Dwarka and Gwalior by end-2026. Net debt stands at ₹38 crore.
The announcement includes positive financial results and strategic growth plans, which are significant for the company's future performance and investor confidence. However, the impact is considered medium as it pertains to a quarterly update and not a transformative corporate action.
The company reported strong year-on-year growth in revenue and EBITDA, along with margin expansion. The addition of an experienced CFO and clear plans for portfolio expansion contribute to a positive outlook.
Kamat Hotels (India) Limited announced its Q1 FY27 earnings, reporting a consolidated revenue of ₹91 crore, a 10% increase year-on-year from ₹83 crore in Q1 FY26. The company also saw a significant 36% jump in consolidated EBITDA to ₹25 crore, up from ₹18 crore in the same quarter last year, with EBITDA margins expanding to 27% from 22%.
The company welcomed Milind Wadekar as the new Chief Financial Officer, who brings over 30 years of experience in finance, with more than 20 years in the hospitality sector.
Kamat Hotels is focusing on leveraging its brands across India and improving the performance of existing hotels, while also expanding its portfolio. New properties like Orchid Panchgani, Orchid Rishikesh, Ira by Orchid Hyderabad, and Ira by Orchid Bhavnagar are scaling up. The company is also planning new openings, including Orchid Dwarka by December 2026 and a hotel in Gwalior by Diwali 2026. Other upcoming projects in Dehradun, Nashik, Rishikesh, and Mandvi are also in progress.
The company's balance sheet is reported to be comfortable, with a net debt of ₹38 crore as of the last quarter. Kamat Hotels aims to maintain a combination of asset-light models (lease or revenue share) and owned properties for its expansion strategy. The management highlighted that while new properties might show initial losses due to mobilization expenses, they are expected to become profitable within the first year of stabilization. The company is targeting EBITDA margins of up to 30% within the next two to three years.
