Presentation
Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Kaptify Consulting Investor
Relations team, I welcome you all to the Q1 FY27 Post Conference Call
of Royal Orchid Hotels Limited.
Today on the call from the management, we have with us Mr. Chander
Baljee, Chairman and Managing Director, Mr. Arjun Baljee, President,
Mr. Keshav Baljee, Whole Time Director; and Mr. Amit Jaiswal, Chief
Financial Officer.
As a disclaimer, I would like to inform all of you that this call may
contain forward-looking statements which may involve risk and
uncertainties. Also this is a reminder that this call is being recorded.
I would now request the management to detail us about the business
performance highlights for the period ended June 2026, the growth
perspective and the vision for the coming year, post which we will open
the floor for Q&A. Over to the management team.
Chander K. Baljee: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the board and the
entire leadership team at Royal Orchid Hotels Limited, I extend a warm
welcome to all of you to this investor presentation on the financial
results of the first quarter ended 30 June, 2026. We appreciate your
continued interest and support and we share the performance highlights
and progress that we are making on our growth agenda.
Key performance snapshot, Q1 delivered strong top line momentum.
Consolidated revenue rose 36% year-on-year to about INR 107 crores
from INR 79 crores in the corresponding quarter last year. Total revenue
stood higher at INR 115 crores. This growth is attributable to our new
hotel, ICONIQA which had become operational last financial year.
EBITDA grew faster than revenue, rising 39% year-on-year to
approximately INR modestly to approximately 33 cr which is Ebitda
margin expanding modestly to approximately 30.7% from 30%.
However, the net profit declined to around INR 6.4 crore versus INR
10.9 crores last year. The diversion between robust operating
performance and lower reported PAT reflects higher financial costs,
depreciation including IndAS impacts and ongoing ramp-up of newer
properties, particularly our larger-leased assets.
We view the underlying operating trends as healthy and consistent with
our expansion phase. Strategic progress, we continue to grow our high
-- asset light growth model. The portfolio has expanded further with

Q1 FY27 Post Earnings Conference Call

additional hotels and keys added during the quarter. We added five
hotels with 237 keys during this quarter. We have 50-plus hotels signed
which we will be opening in the next 18 to 24 months. We are working
hard and remain focused on Vision 2030 targets of scaling to a
significantly larger network of hotels and keys across India and select
neighbouring markets, driven primarily by management contracts,
franchising and selective revenue share arrangements. Occupancy and
average room rates in our key operating hotel and managed properties
have held up, supported by domestic leisure and corporate demand.
New openings and pipeline conversion are progressing as planned.
Looking ahead, we remain confident in the medium term outlook.
India's hospitality sector continues to benefit from rising domestic
travel, improving infrastructure and growing demand in both leisure and
business segments. Our emphasis on operational excellence, brands
stretching across the agenda and related portfolio. We are also looking
at disciplined capital allocation position as well to convert the current
growth investments into stronger profitability and better ROCE in the
coming quarters. The detailed financial statement, segment-wise
performance and operational metrics are available on the investor
presentation and results filing. Hope you all had a chance to go through
the same in detail.
We are happy to take your questions now. Thank you once again for
joining us today. We look forward to a constructive discussion.
Question-and-Answer
Moderator: Thank you. [Operator Instructions] We will take the first question from
Anubhav Jain. Anubhav, you can go ahead.
Anubhav Jain: Yeah. Hello, sir. Am I audible?
Arjun Baljee: Yes, Anubhav. Please go ahead. Yes.
Anubhav Jain: Thank you for the opportunity, sir. So my question is that
premiumization of ROHL with ICONIQA, what's the plan and how will
that over the time improve the yield?
Arjun Baljee: Let me take that question. So if you look at what we've tried to do with
ICONIQA as a separate brand in the premium upper upscale segment,
the intention was very clear that how do you create a family of brands
starting from the value priced at Z by Regenta going all the way up, as
with every other hotel company. What we propose to do going forward

Q1 FY27 Post Earnings Conference Call
August 14, 2026 5:00 PM IST
is we're signing hotels in the upper upscale category by using ICONIQA
as the growth driver there.
We also have the opportunity of premiumization where within our own
Royal Orchid hotels, if you look at it, we've got about a thousand keys
in the five star category between owned, leased and joint ventured.
Those two are, as you know, are being upgraded and have been
upgraded to yield better ADRs in the time to come.
Anubhav Jain: Okay. Thank you, sir. I'll get back in the queue.
Moderator: Thank you. We'll take the next question from Surbhi Mishra. Surbhi,
you can go ahead.
Surbhi Mishra: Hello. Am I audible?
Arjun Baljee: Yes, Surbhi.
Surbhi Mishra: I wanted to know, your consolidated revenue grew 38.5% and EBITDA
approximately 39.1% in Q1. How much of this growth came from the
237 new key added during the quarter and what was it like for revenue
and EBITDA growth of existing profile?
Amit Jaiswal: I'll take this question, Surbhi. See, in the quarter, we have opened 237
rooms, five hotels, and they all are in managed and franchisee model.
So the number to that would be very, very negligible. Okay. So because
we only get the management fees or the franchisee fees from these
hotels, the major number comes from our JLO hotels, that is, owned,
leased and joint venture hotels. So the number from these five hotels is
very, very negligible.
Surbhi Mishra: Okay. And can you tell me, what is the revenue par growth occupancy
and ARR moment for Q1?
Amit Jaiswal: See, as far as the occupancies are concerned, we are at 70% in our JLO
hotels and at 60% odd, 60.8% at our -- all the managed and franchisee
portfolio. And as far as the ADR is concerned, las
