Viceroy Hotels reported FY25 standalone revenue from operations of ₹13,248.96 lakhs, up about 12% from ₹11,844.30 lakhs in FY24. Profit before tax jumped to ₹2,115.92 lakhs (vs ₹489.49 lakhs), while reported profit after tax surged to ₹7,640.58 lakhs (vs ₹703.30 lakhs) — the large PAT jump is largely driven by a one-time deferred tax credit of ₹5,524.66 lakhs and the impact of the October 2023 resolution plan that extinguished financial creditors' debt. EPS rose to ₹11.96 from ₹1.41. On the consolidated side, revenue was nearly flat at ₹13,729.44 lakhs due to divestment of five subsidiaries in July 2024. Operating cash flow improved to ₹1,509.89 lakhs and borrowings fell sharply. The board also announced a CFO change (Pradyumna Kodali moved to COO; P.V. Krishna Reddy appointed CFO) and appointed new internal and secretarial auditors. Statutory auditor Deva & Co. issued an unmodified/unqualified opinion.
The headline earnings surge is mostly accounting-driven (deferred tax gain and debt extinguishment from the resolution plan) rather than a sharp pickup in core hotel operations, so investors should focus on the modest revenue growth and improved debt position. The debt reduction and fresh equity from the rights issue (₹4,951 lakhs) strengthen the balance sheet, but underlying business growth remains in low double digits.
