Kamat Hotels Q3 Revenue Grows 12% to ₹118 Cr; PAT Declines to ₹19 Cr Amid Expansion Delays

🔵 WATCH ⭐ 8/10

EARNINGS 📅 07 Feb 2026, 12:09 PM

Kamat Hotels reported a 12% YoY increase in Q3 revenue to INR 118 crore, though PAT declined to INR 19 crore from INR 26 crore due to a high base effect and operational challenges. The company faced headwinds from aviation disruptions and road connectivity issues in Shimla and Manali, alongside delays in opening approximately 280-290 new rooms. Management highlighted a successful renovation in Pune, where ARRs increased by nearly 15-18% following upgrades. Despite short-term margin pressure from new hotel pre-opening expenses, the company maintains a semi-asset light growth strategy.

Q3 Consolidated Revenue grew 12% YoY to INR 118 crore with an EBITDA margin of 33.14%
Net Profit for Q3 fell to INR 19 crore compared to INR 26 crore in the previous year's quarter
Approximately 280-290 new rooms across Dehradun, Gwalior, Bhavnagar, and Nashik are expected to open in the coming year
Orchid Pune saw ARRs rise to INR 6,400-6,700 from INR 5,500-5,700 following phase 1 renovation
9M-FY26 revenue reached INR 276 crore, a 4% YoY increase, with a total PAT of INR 21 crore

💡 Investors should monitor the timely commissioning of the delayed 280-290 rooms as they are critical for future revenue growth. While Pune's ARR growth is a positive indicator, the impact of pre-opening expenses on margins warrants a cautious outlook in the near term.

Kamat Hotels (I) Limited reported a flat revenue performance for Q3 FY26, with revenue from operations at ₹79.06 crore compared to ₹79.37 crore in the same period last year. Net profit experienced a sharp decline of 39.4% YoY, falling to ₹15.24 crore from ₹25.15 crore, impacted by higher operating expenses and a ₹3.07 crore exceptional charge related to new labour codes. While sequential revenue grew 55% from Q2 FY26 due to seasonality, the YoY margin contraction is a concern. The company continues to navigate an ED investigation and is seeking a lease extension for its Konark property beyond September 2025.

💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Consolidated Operational Revenue for H1-FY26 stood at INR 157.8 Cr. For FY25, the segment revenue mix was dominated by The Orchid at 61%, followed by IRA at 28%, Heritage Hotels at 6%, and Lotus Resorts at 5%. Q2-FY26 revenue of INR 75.1 Cr showed a YoY decline of 11.8% and a QoQ decline of 8.8% due to a lean monsoon period and a dip in Pune Orchid performance.

Geographic Revenue Split

The company is currently concentrated in 9 States/U.T. with a historical heavy reliance on Maharashtra (Mumbai and Pune). To deleverage geographic risk, the company is expanding into new territories like Chandigarh and has a pipeline of 9 new properties across 3 states.

Profitability Margins

Profitability saw a sharp decline in H1-FY26 with PAT margins at 1.39% compared to 13.05% in FY25. This was driven by a 76.6% YoY drop in PAT for the half-year to INR 2.2 Cr, primarily due to the management's strategy of expensing all pre-opening costs for 6 new hotels (including Chandigarh) rather than capitalizing them.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin for H1-FY26 was 16.41%, a significant contraction from 29.33% in FY25 and 29.87% in FY24. Q2-FY26 EBITDA fell 62.5% YoY to INR 8.4 Cr, impacted by higher operating expenses and the immediate booking of pre-opening costs for new properties.

Capital Expenditure

The company is transitioning to a 'KHIL 3.0' model, focusing on asset-light growth through management contracts and revenue sharing. While specific INR Cr capex for FY26 is not disclosed, the company is adding 700+ keys to its pipeline to reach a total of 2,500+ keys by FY26.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

Finance costs for H1-FY26 were INR 12 Cr, a 37.2% reduction YoY. Total debt has been reduced substantially from INR 327.3 Cr in FY23 to INR 115.3 Cr in H1-FY26, with a target to reach a 'Net Cash' status and reduce debt further to INR 50 Cr by the end of FY26.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Food & Beverage supplies represent 35% of total revenue. Other major operational costs include Electricity, Labor, and general operating expenses which the company is targeting for efficiency improvements.

Capacity Expansion

Raw Material Costs

Total expenses for H1-FY26 were INR 131.9 Cr, up 7.0% YoY. The company is focusing on enhancing unit-level operational efficiency specifically in electricity and labor to manage these costs.

Manufacturing Efficiency

The group level occupancy rate is 52% with an Average Room Rate (ARR) of INR 6,074. The company aims to improve these through digitization and strengthened online marketing.

Logistics & Distribution

Not applicable as a service-based hotel industry, but sales are driven by digital media and online marketing (65% repeat customer rate).

📈 Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

10.30%

Growth Strategy

The company aims to reach INR 400 Cr revenue in FY26 (up from INR 362.5 Cr in FY25) by adding 700+ keys, expanding the 'IRA by Orchid' and 'The Orchid' brands, and increasing presence in new states. The strategy involves a mix of lease properties, revenue sharing, and management contracts.

Products & Services

Competitive Landscape

Competes with national hotel chains; management is actively expanding to match the footprint of national competitors to deleverage regional risks.

Competitive Moat
