Manoj Bhat: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to Mahindra Holidays Q2 F '27 Earnings Call. Joining
me is our CFO, Rajiv Vimal. I'll quickly outline our progress against the strategy and our
priorities before Rajiv takes you through the financial results.
Our strategy to recap was to scale our core business by enhancing guest experience while
building a new luxury leisure hospitality offering. For the core business, I think what we were
focused on was strengthening and building our Keystone proposition, which we have launched
about 9 months back, widening and getting more premium resorts over a period of time and
ensuring greater availability for our guests.
In line with the same, we saw progress on all fronts in Q2. So we saw that there was higher resort
utilization. We saw premiumization in our product portfolio, while we continue to invest in our
network.
Our new product Keystone offers greater simplicity, flexibility and enhanced privileges. If I look
at the quarter, the total sales value, including upgrades, grew 6% year-on-year to INR141 crores,
while the upgrade value grew at 26% to INR83 crores. And upgrades are really a reflection of
the confidence our members have in the product and that's a strong growth, which we have seen
continuously over many, many quarters. Our average unit realization, including upgrades, grew
up by 43% to INR13.4 lakhs.
So if I look at from this perspective, we saw growth overall. We saw growth in upgrades, and
we saw growth in AUR. So it's been a good quarter on many fronts from that perspective. This
upgrade opportunity is supported by our base of about 3,03,000 members. If I look at the breakup
of how we have added members, organic and digital have contributed 66% of member additions
in the quarter. So clearly, we are seeing that we are sustaining the momentum from referrals,
which is again an indication of the strength of the program and the satisfaction of the members.
And of course, digital is something which is a new channel, which we have been investing in
some time. The premiumization, which we have seen, is supported by really the holiday
experience, which has become better for most of our members as we look at the scores from a
satisfaction perspective. So overall, from that perspective, this has been a satisfactory quarter.
The other area which we have talked about in the past is our resort transformation or the portfolio
transformation journey. In Q2, we transformed 2 existing properties, and I think they are both
open. I think there are about 5 transformations underway as we speak. If I look at from a
continued focus on exiting parts of the portfolio based on guest feedback and ratings, we
continue on that journey.

So overall, during the quarter, we exited 6 resorts, taking the network to 5,762 keys across 106
resorts in September. So overall, there was a net reduction of 103 keys in the quarter. While
these exits and ongoing transformation limit near-term visibility, I think overall, we are on track
to add about 1,000 gross keys in the next 6 months. That is the current plan. And as they come
on stream, they will broaden holiday choice and improve availability for members.
During the quarter, occupancy also grew by 220 basis points to 75.6%. And our resort revenue
grew by 15%, which is, I think, the highest it has been in the last 8 quarters. And so really, our
journey of focusing on premiumization, focusing on getting the right portfolio and also focusing
on expanding guest experience, I think that's something which is showing results.
The new metric which we have started tracking is TRevPAR across our portfolio. As of
September end, it is up 6% Y-o-Y to INR8,777 per room. And to me, this is indicative of the
basic yield going up across our properties. Beyond the near-term additions, our objective to reach
10,000 keys by F'30 is very much on track. Currently, we have 8 ongoing greenfield and
brownfield projects. And in terms of our funnel, we have 85% visibility on the F'30 target. This
larger, better quality network will provide a broader base for resort-led revenue growth in the
future.
Coming to the investments. On the capital side, we are allocating capital to both scale up the
network as well as improve the quality. H1 capex was about INR312 crores. This is supporting
some of the resort transformation and the new inventory projects. This is sharply up from
INR166 crores a year ago.
To summarize what this investment will support is both from a VO income as well as income
from stays, food and beverage and experiences of various kinds, including spa and wellness.
And to me, this is the journey which will start bearing results as we go into the next few quarters.
From a technology and AI journey, I think there are multiple areas where we are using AI
capabilities with one focus, which is about how do we improve guest engagement across both
service and operations. If I look at the various things around paperless check-ins, around
WhatsApp billing, around various tools where we are using it to anticipate guest needs and serve
them better, I think that's also going very well.
Quickly coming to our international operations. HCRO delivered a stable performance compared
to the same quarter last year, although it continued to report a net loss amid a challenging Finnish
economic environment. Overall, the Finnish economy is doing better than where it was a year
back. And I think as the quarters progress, some of that will translate possibly into better results
in terms of growth in the HCRO business, but that is something which we will monitor as we go
along.
