Royal Orchid Hotels Q1 FY27: Revenue Soars 36% to ₹107 Cr, EBITDA Up 39%, PAT Declines
Royal Orchid Hotels' Q1 FY27 revenue surged 36% YoY to ₹107 crore, with EBITDA up 39% to ₹33 crore. PAT declined to ₹6.4 crore due to higher costs. The company added 5 hotels (237 keys) and plans 50+ more. Management aims for over 20% ROCE and is addressing GST impact.
The significant revenue growth and expansion plans are positive indicators. However, the decline in net profit and ongoing challenges like GST impact and IndAS effects suggest a moderate impact on immediate investor sentiment.
The revenue and EBITDA growth are positive, but the decline in net profit and the discussion around profitability challenges and GST impact moderate the overall sentiment to neutral.
Royal Orchid Hotels Limited announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company reported a consolidated revenue of ₹107 crore, a significant increase of 36% year-on-year, driven by the operationalization of the new hotel, ICONIQA. Total revenue stood at ₹115 crore.
EBITDA saw a robust growth of 39% year-on-year, reaching approximately ₹33 crore, with EBITDA margins expanding modestly to 30.7% from 30%. However, net profit declined to around ₹6.4 crore compared to ₹10.9 crore in the same quarter last year. This divergence is attributed to higher financial costs, depreciation (including IndAS impacts), and the ongoing ramp-up of newer properties.
The company added five hotels with 237 keys during the quarter, expanding its portfolio. With over 50 hotels signed, expected to open in the next 18 to 24 months, Royal Orchid Hotels is focused on its Vision 2030 targets to scale its network through management contracts, franchising, and revenue share arrangements. Occupancy and average room rates in key operating and managed properties remained strong, supported by domestic leisure and corporate demand.
During the post-earnings conference call held on August 14, 2026, the management discussed the premiumization strategy with ICONIQA, the impact of new hotel additions, and clarified that the growth from the 237 new keys added in managed and franchisee models was negligible on the consolidated numbers, with the major contribution coming from owned, leased, and joint venture hotels.
The company also addressed concerns regarding profitability, highlighting that while they are in a "churning stage," they are targeting an ROCE of over 20% in the next year. The impact of GST changes, leading to a ₹2.5 crore GST input loss in the quarter, was also discussed as a factor affecting profitability. Management emphasized looking at non-IndAS numbers for a clearer picture of underlying economics, with non-IndAS PAT for Q1 FY27 reported at ₹9.8 crore.
