Viceroy Hotels reported Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) standalone revenue from operations of ₹2,536.95 lakhs, down about 6.4% from ₹2,709.59 lakhs in the same quarter last year. Total income fell to ₹2,645.31 lakhs from ₹2,749.94 lakhs, while expenses stayed roughly flat at ₹2,607.31 lakhs. Profit before tax plunged to ₹37.99 lakhs from ₹194.57 lakhs, and the company swung to a net loss of ₹302.32 lakhs versus a profit of ₹171.75 lakhs in Q1 FY25, driven largely by a deferred tax charge of ₹340.31 lakhs this quarter versus ₹20.82 lakhs a year ago. Diluted EPS turned negative at -₹0.04. Separately, statutory auditor Deva & Co resigned citing internal reallocation of resources, and MSKC & Associates LLP has been appointed as the new statutory auditor for a five-year term, subject to shareholder approval at the 60th AGM on September 8, 2025.
The quarter was weak, with shrinking revenue, sharply lower operating profit, and a return to loss largely because of deferred tax accounting, which may concern investors watching earnings momentum. The mid-year auditor change is a governance event worth monitoring, though the outgoing auditor cited routine internal reasons and confirmed no other concerns. Short-term sentiment could be negative due to the loss, but the auditor switch to a larger firm (MSKC) and steady utilisation of rights-issue proceeds for property renovation may be viewed as neutral-to-positive over the medium term.
