The Board of Directors also does not discuss any ratings at its meetings. 1 crore = 10 million Refer to Annexure for Details of Instruments & Bank Facilities Detailed Rationale Crisil Ratings has reaffirmed its ‘Crisil AA/Stable/Crisil A1+’ ratings on the bank facilities and commercial paper programme of Thomas Cook India Limited (TCIL). Crisil Ratings has withdrawn its corporate credit rating (CCR) following the receipt of request from the company. The rating withdrawal is in line with the Crisil Ratings policy on withdrawal of ratings. TCIL’s ratings benefit from strong support from its parent, Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (Fairfax; rated ‘A-/Stable’ by S&P Global Ratings). The ratings are also supported by TCIL’s strong business risk profile, as indicated by its leadership position in the travel and foreign exchange (forex) segments and healthy presence in leisure hospitality and digital imaging solutions (DEI). Its diversified operations across leisure travel, destination management services (DMS), meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE), corporate travel, forex, hospitality and DEI provide resilience against volatility across markets and geographies. These strengths are partially offset by the travel and tourism business’s susceptibility to geopolitical and event-driven disruptions and intense competition, which can materially affect travel demand and profitability. TCIL’s revenue from operations weakened in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, with consolidated revenue from operations declining by around 13% on year to Rs 2,092 crore. The decline was concentrated in high-margin businesses affected by geopolitical instability in West Asia, airspace and connectivity disruptions. Revenue from international DMS and DEI declined by 33% and 38%, respectively, which contributed to around 34% and 10% each to consolidated operating income in fiscal 2026. The impact was cushioned by TCIL’s diversified operations and partial shift to short haul destinations. Leisure hospitality benefited from higher occupancy and growth in room and food and beverage revenue, while financial services remained stable, supported by TCIL’s established market position and diversified offerings. In fiscal 2026, consolidated operating income grew by 3.4% to Rs 8,517 crore despite multiple geopolitical, operational and weather-related disruptions. However, lower contribution from high-margin international DMS, long-haul outbound travel and DEI led to moderation in the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) margin to 6.4% in fiscal 2026 from 7.1% in fiscal 2025. Travel and DEI saw Ebitda margin (operating margin) decline to 4.4% and 5.1%, respectively, while financial services and leisure hospitality maintained healthy margin of around 48% and 33%, respectively. While the adverse impact of geopolitical developments began in the quarter ending March 31, 2026, and persisted through the quarter ending June 30, 2026, TCIL reported moderate growth in absolute Ebitda during the first nine months of fiscal 2026. Crisil Ratings expects TCIL’s consolidated operating income to decline by 2–5% and Ebitda margin to moderate, while remaining in excess of 5% in fiscal 2027, amid continued pressure on the international DMS business, long-haul outbound travel and DEI segment. Growth in MICE, corporate travel, domestic and short-haul leisure travel, hospitality and financial services should provide partial support. However, lower average transaction values and margins in domestic and short-haul travel will limit the benefit to consolidated revenue and profitability. TCIL is recalibrating the destination mix towards relatively resilient markets in East and Southeast Asia, including Japan, Vietnam and China, and implementing cost optimisation measures in DEI. The impact of evolving geopolitical developments on travel demand and business performance will be monitorable. https://www.crisilratings.com/mnt/winshare/Ratings/RatingList/RatingDocs/ThomasCookIndiaLimited_October 28_ 2026_RR_409209.html 1/11 10/28/26, 11:45 PM Rating Rationale Over the medium term, operating performance is expected to recover with stabilisation of geopolitical conditions, improvement in air connectivity, normalisation of tourist footfall and revival in long-haul travel. Despite the proposed demerger of the hospitality segment, growth across travel, forex and DEI should support consolidated operating income to sustain above Rs 7,500 crore over the medium term. Recovery in Desert Adventures and DEI, conversion of the booking pipeline, improvement in long-haul travel and sustained demand across East and Southeast Asia will remain monitorable. The proposed demerger of the hospitality segment from fiscal 2028 is expected to reduce TCIL's consolidated scale, earnings and Ebitda margin due to the exclusion of the segment's relatively high-margin operations. Consequently, consolidated Ebitda margin is expected to moderate, while remaining more than 4% after the demerger. Profitability is expected to improve gradually over the medium term, supported by normalisation in the international DMS business, long-haul outbound travel and the DEI segment, along with cost rationalisation initiatives and stable profitability from the financial services business. Liquidity remains strong, with cash and short-term investments of around Rs 2,650 crore as on June 30, 2026. After adjusting for the forex card float of approximately Rs 1,750 crore, unencumbered cash is estimated at around Rs 900 crore. Annual net cash accrual of Rs 180-260 crore together with available free cash and largely unutilised bank lines, should adequately cover annual capital expenditure (capex) and scheduled debt repayment over the medium term. The liquidity assessment benefits from the expectation of need-based support from Fairfax. Despite the impact of the West Asia conflict and the expected moderation in consolidated scale, earnings and networth following the demerger of the hospitality segment, the ratings continue to derive comfort from TCIL’s established market position, diversified operations, adequate capital structure and strong li [Showing first 8,000 characters — download PDF for full document]
