Now, I would like to hand over the call to Mr. Varun Kapur for opening remarks. Thank you.
Varun Kapur: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us for the earnings call of TFS
for the first quarter of this financial year. I hope you have had the opportunity to review our Q1
FY27 results and the investor presentation released yesterday.
Let me begin with an update on the operating environment, followed by the key highlights of
our performance, after which our CFO Vikas, will take you through the financials in greater
detail. We have begun the new financial year on a strong note. Despite the disruptions arising
from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, we delivered double-digit growth in both sales
and profitability, continued to expand our network, and further strengthened our position across
key airport markets.
Let me start with the operating environment. Passenger traffic remains the single most important
external driver of our business, and during the quarter, it was impacted by the Middle East
conflict, particularly on international routes. Domestic traffic registered modest growth, but a
significant decline in international traffic resulted in overall passenger traffic being broadly flat
year-on-year for the quarter.

For some added colour, the quarter began with a decline in overall traffic in April. May saw a
gradual stabilization in traffic trends as disruptions eased, with domestic traffic returning to
growth, while international traffic continued to face headwinds despite improving conditions.
In June, traffic softened again following renewed conflict-related disruptions.
That said, one of the clearest lessons of the past several years has been the resilience of travel
demand. Time and again, we have seen passenger traffic and traveller spending rebound
strongly once disruptions ease. Even during the current quarter, the temporary easing of
geopolitical tensions in May led to a sharp rebound in travel activity, particularly in domestic
travel, resulting in the highest ever single month of domestic air traffic in India, particularly
notable against a softer base in the same month last year and underscoring the resilience and
strong bounce-back capability of the Indian travel market.
Against this softer traffic backdrop, where we also saw higher cost and inflation pressures, TFS
delivered another quarter of strong performance. System-wide sales grew by 18% year-on-year
to INR8.4 billion, while consolidated profit after tax increased by 35.6% year-on-year to INR1.3
billion. Vikas will cover the financials in detail, so let me focus on what these numbers tell us
about the business.
We sustained strong momentum in new outlet openings, backed by recent contract wins and a
robust pipeline, which translated into net contract gains of 15.9% year-on-year at the system-
wide level. A few markets saw softer like-for-like performance during the quarter, notably
Mumbai and Guwahati owing to traffic migration to new airport infrastructure and certain South
India markets given their relatively higher exposure to Middle East traffic. As a result, system-
wide LFL sales growth was 0.8% for the quarter. Importantly, excluding these specific markets,
like-for-like sales grew around 7% year-on-year across our wider network.
During the quarter, we commenced operations at Noida International Airport, taking our
system-wide presence to 21 airports. Over the last 12 months, we have added 87 travel QSR
outlets and two lounges across the network, with significant additions at Mumbai, Delhi,
Hyderabad, Cochin, Navi Mumbai, and Noida airports.
Our system-wide footprint as of June end stands at 580 travel QSR outlets and lounges, while
our brand portfolio has expanded to 153 brands. We remain focused on creating a differentiated
food and hospitality experience for travellers through a carefully curated portfolio of
international brands, regional favourites, and our own in-house concepts.
On the lounge side, we continue to see an encouraging response to our premium offerings and
customer experience initiatives. We are also increasingly leveraging technology to deepen
engagement with passengers and partners while creating additional avenues for monetization.
Another important milestone during the quarter was the successful launch of our passenger
services at Noida International Airport under our Elite Assist brand, including meet-and-greet
and porter services. These offerings complement our existing lounge network and will integrate
into our EATS technology platform, allowing passengers to use them alongside other
experiences, further
