EIH Limited Q3 FY26 Revenue Up 9% to ₹910 Cr; PAT Impacted by One-Time Wage Code Provision

🟡 NEUTRAL ⭐ 7/10

EARNINGS 📅 18 Feb 2026, 06:49 PM

EIH Limited reported a 9% YoY increase in consolidated revenue to ₹910 crores for Q3 FY26, though EBITDA growth lagged at 6% due to changes in the business mix. Net profit was negatively impacted by a one-time ₹30 crore provision for the wage code and a prior ₹109 crore legal settlement in Q1. While the Trident brand saw strong RevPAR growth of 12.5%, the Oberoi brand's growth was more modest at 5.4% due to the ramp-up of new properties. The company maintains a strong development pipeline of 30 hotels and a healthy cash position following a ₹115 crore settlement.

Consolidated revenue grew 9% YoY to ₹910 crores, while Standalone revenue rose 12%.
Trident brand RevPAR grew 12.5% YoY, outperforming the upper upscale industry segment growth of 8.6%.

💡 Investors should focus on the successful ramp-up of new luxury properties and the execution of the 30-hotel pipeline. While one-time provisions have suppressed recent profits, the core hospitality metrics and strong balance sheet remain supportive of long-term growth.

💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Total Operating Income (TOI) grew 24% YoY in FY24 to INR 2,511.46 Cr, following a 100% growth in FY23 to INR 2,019.01 Cr. Q2FY26 revenue grew 2% YoY to INR 597.9 Cr, though growth was tempered by the absence of revenue from The Oberoi Grand and Oberoi Airport Services.

Geographic Revenue Split

The portfolio is geographically diversified across India (Udaipur, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Shimla, Agra, Chennai, Bhubaneswar) and international markets. International hotels saw a RevPAR growth of 7% to 8% in Q2FY26. Domestic air passenger traffic, a key driver, declined by 2.4% in Q2FY26 affecting domestic segments.

Profitability Margins

PAT for FY24 was INR 677.71 Cr (27% margin) and increased to INR 769.90 Cr in FY25. However, Q2FY26 PAT dropped significantly to INR 36.88 Cr due to operational adjustments and the closure of specific units. Profitability is supported by high ARRs of INR 16,471 in FY23, up 67% from FY22.

EBITDA Margin

PBILDT margin was 30% in Q1FY25, a slight moderation from 34% in Q1FY24 due to rising employee and maintenance costs. Q2FY26 EBITDA was INR 188.5 Cr, a 9% decline YoY from INR 208.2 Cr, primarily due to the exit of The Oberoi Grand and Airport Services from the current year's financials.

Capital Expenditure

Planned average annual Capex is INR 400 to 500 Cr over the next 3-5 years. Key projects include expansion in Goa and the Hebbal project in Bengaluru. Total funds position as of Sept 2025 stands at a healthy INR 1,057 Cr to support these expansions.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

Short-term instruments are rated CARE A1+. The company is net debt negative as of March 31, 2023, with a robust capital structure. Management guides that overall gearing will not exceed 0.2x even after accounting for future debt-funded capex.

Expected Growth Rate

24%

Growth Strategy

The company is targeting 50 new hotels by 2030 and is currently developing 10 projects in high-growth leisure destinations like Goa and international markets like Nepal and Thailand.

Joint ventures include Mumtaz Hotels (102 keys) and various management contracts with property owners for 21 of their 30 hotels.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is in an upcycle with RevPAR increasing 8-10% YoY. Trends show a shift toward managed contracts (asset-light) and a strong recovery in weddings and corporate MICE events post-pandemic.

Competitive Landscape

Competes with global and domestic luxury chains; competition is increasing due to rising room supply in major Indian metros.

Competitive Moat

The 'Oberoi' brand equity and premium service standards create a high barrier to entry. This moat is sustainable due to consistently higher-than-average RevPAR and a strong tangible net worth of INR 3,691.44 Cr providing financial flexibility.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to GDP growth and tourist arrival trends. A decline in domestic air passenger traffic by 2.4% in Q2FY26 correlated with slower revenue growth.

Consumer Behavior

Shift toward luxury leisure travel and high-end social events (weddings) is driving demand for premium properties.

Geopolitical Risks

International travel continues to be impacted by geo-political disruptions in key markets, affecting the inflow of high-spending overseas tourists.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Operations are subject to government policies on tourism, international travel regulations, and local hospitality standards. Compliance with SEBI Regulation 30(6) for investor disclosures is maintained.

Environmental Compliance

The company aims to achieve Net Zero by 2050, utilizing green architecture and energy-efficient operational improvements.

Taxation Policy Impact

Tax expense for Q2FY26 was INR 49.9 Cr on a pre-tax profit of approximately INR 166.5 Cr, implying an effective tax rate of ~30%.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Cyclical and seasonal nature of the hotel industry (peak Oct-Mar) can cause significant quarterly volatility in earnings. Exogenous factors like disease outbreaks or terrorist attacks pose high-impact risks to occupancy.
