IHCL reported its 12th consecutive quarter of record performance, with FY25 consolidated revenue of INR 8,565 crores growing 23% and EBITDA margin expanding 140 bps to 35%. Hotel segment posted 13% revenue growth with EBITDA margin of 35.9% (+220 bps), while Q4 standalone hotel revenue grew 13% to INR 2,206 crores with margin reaching 38.5%. Normalized PAT grew 27% to INR 1,603 crores (reported PAT INR 1,908 crores includes INR 305 crores exceptional gain). Consolidated RevPAR grew 16% in Q4 and 12% for the year, with IHCL commanding a 73% RevPAR premium over the industry. The company signed 74 hotels and opened 26 in FY25, taking the portfolio to 381 hotels (247 operational, 134 in pipeline), with 95% being capital-light. Management guides for double-digit revenue growth in FY26, with April 2025 already showing ~17% growth and a CAPEX budget of INR 1,200+ crores. A dividend of INR 2.25 per share (~20% of consolidated PAT) has been proposed.
Strong FY25 results with broad-based growth across hotel, new businesses, and international segments reinforce IHCL's premium positioning. Net debt-free status with INR 3,000 crores liquidity and 17% April growth signal positive momentum into FY26, though Q1 base is favorable. The proposed dividend and continued capital-light expansion (134-hotel pipeline) are positives for shareholders, while margin guidance remains cautiously optimistic given TajSATS accounting changes and rising competition.
