Juniper Hotels reported its highest-ever Q1 revenue of Rs. 221 crores, with total income at Rs. 227 crores (up 11% year-on-year), despite headwinds from Operation Sindoor and air travel disruptions in May 2025. Average room rates (ARR) grew 9% year-on-year and overall occupancy improved 2 percentage points to 71%. EBITDA rose 27% year-on-year to Rs. 86.4 crores with margins expanding by 5 percentage points, supported by higher green energy usage, lower admin costs, and reduced repair expenses. Profit before tax (before exceptional items) grew 167% year-on-year to Rs. 35 crores, while interest costs fell 21% year-on-year with average borrowing cost at 8.3%. Management reaffirmed plans to double its key count to 4,000 by FY29, with new properties in Bangalore, Guwahati, and Kaziranga under development and ROFO asset integration expected in FY27 via share swap.
Positive for shareholders — strong revenue and margin growth despite sector headwinds signal resilience, and a clear multi-year expansion pipeline (including new hotels and ROFO integration) supports the growth story. The Rs. 17.1 crore exceptional provision for the Bengaluru fire incident is fully insured and should be reversed as insurance claims come in.
