AI summary

Kamat Hotels reported Q4 FY26 revenue of INR 110 crore (+19% YoY), EBITDA of INR 32 crore (29% margins, +213 bps), and PAT of INR 18 crore (+59%). Full-year FY26 revenue stood at INR 386 crore (+8%), EBITDA at INR 97 crore (25.1% margins), and PAT at INR 39 crore (10.1% margins). Management flagged headwinds including a new wage code adding ~INR 4 crore permanent labour cost increase, and ~INR 2 crore one-time severance from the closure of the IRA Mumbai lease (INR 50 crore revenue loss, EBITDA positive by INR 1–2 crore). Approximately 250–260 hotel keys were added in FY26 creating an EBITDA drag of ~INR 10 crore, which management expects to recover as new properties mature. A new CFO, Milind Wadekar (ex-Chalet Hotels, ex-Leela), is joining. The company guided it will open 150–200 additional keys in FY27 and is cautiously optimistic on domestic demand, but declined to provide numerical revenue guidance for FY27.

Likely market impact

Short-term revenue may decline in FY27 due to IRA Mumbai exit, but EBITDA margins are expected to improve as newly opened hotels ramp up and the one-time severance cost is absorbed. New property maturation and domestic demand strength are key tailwinds.
