Advani Hotels & Resorts reported a 10% decline in net profit after tax (PAT) to ₹238.6 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, compared to ₹264.4 crore in the previous year. The drop was driven by a contraction in average occupancy from 82.0% to 73.4%, attributed to macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical uncertainty.

Despite the dip in profitability, the Goa-based hotelier maintained robust operational metrics. Total revenue remained relatively stable at ₹1,102.0 crore, down marginally by 0.9% year-on-year. Crucially, the average net total revenue per occupied room (TRevPOR) grew by 6.9% to ₹21,086 per night, demonstrating effective yield management despite lower room sales volume.

Financial Performance

The company’s EBITDA stood at ₹347.4 crore, reflecting a margin of 31.5%, down from 34.5% in FY25. This compression was primarily due to higher employee benefit expenses and other operating costs. Interest income remained significant at ₹31.6 million, contributing to the bottom line alongside core operations.

Balance Sheet Strength

Advani Hotels remains debt-free, reinforcing its resilient capital structure. Cash and bank balances, including current investments and fixed deposits, increased to ₹588.6 crore as on March 31, 2026, up from ₹517.0 crore in the prior year. This liquidity buffer positions the company well for future growth initiatives.

The balance sheet saw a substantial boost from a non-cash revaluation surplus of ₹4,272.7 million on freehold land, following a change in accounting policy from the cost model to the revaluation model under Ind AS 16. This adjustment significantly expanded shareholder equity but did not impact cash flows or operating performance.

Dividend Payout

The Board declared a total dividend payout of ₹166.4 crore for FY26, representing approximately 70% of the net profit after tax. This includes two interim dividends: ₹1.00 per share in January 2026 and ₹0.80 per share in May 2026. The consistent dividend policy underscores management’s commitment to returning value to shareholders.

Strategic Initiatives

Management highlighted ongoing expansion plans, including the construction of a new banquet hall and additional guest rooms, expected to be completed by mid-2027. These projects aim to capitalize on growing demand for weddings and conferences in Goa. Additionally, the company continues to invest in sustainability measures, such as energy-efficient cooling systems and water conservation technologies.
