Sayaji Hotels Reports Q1 FY27 Net Profit of ₹0.30 Cr, Aided by ₹3 Cr Asset Sale

🟡 NEUTRAL ⭐ 6/10

EARNINGS 📅 06 Aug 2026, 01:22 PM

Sayaji Hotels turned profitable in Q1 FY27 with a consolidated net profit of ₹0.30 Cr, compared to a loss of ₹5.13 Cr in Q1 FY26. However, this turnaround was primarily driven by a one-time gain of ₹3.00 Cr from an asset sale to a related party, Vicon Imperial (I) Pvt. Ltd. Total consolidated income fell 34.3% YoY to ₹23.87 Cr as the company transitioned two properties (Baroda and Raipur) from a lease model to a management fee model. This shift is part of an asset-light strategy, evidenced by management fee income rising to ₹1.08 Cr from zero in the previous year's quarter.

💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

The company reported 9M FY2025 revenues of ~INR 99 Cr, representing a 26% increase over 9M FY2024. This follows a restated revenue of ~INR 115 Cr for FY2023 post-reorganization. Growth is primarily driven by accommodation and food & beverage services across its three brands.

Geographic Revenue Split

Revenue is primarily generated from Tier-II and Tier-III cities in India, including Vadodara, Bhopal, Raipur, and Udaipur. The company operates 27 properties across 23 cities, focusing on high-growth urban centers.

Profitability Margins

Operating profit margins (OPMs) declined to 27.1% in 9M FY2025 from 31.6% in 9M FY2024. This 4.5% margin contraction was caused by significant repairs and renovation work at the Udaipur and Bhopal properties, which offset cost-saving initiatives.

EBITDA Margin

Operating profit margin stood at 27.1% for 9M FY2025. Core profitability is supported by an asset-light model where management contracts yield fixed earnings of ~6-7% of property revenues.

Capital Expenditure

Planned capital expenditure of INR 60 Cr is allocated for adding 48 rooms and 50 villas to the Udaipur property. This will be funded via a sanctioned term loan and a planned INR 50 Cr rights issue expected by April 2025.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

ICRA reaffirmed the long-term rating at [ICRA]BBB+(Stable) in April 2025. Total debt excluding lease liabilities and promoter loans is negligible at INR 0.6 Cr as of December 2024.
