Juniper Hotels Limited delivered a landmark financial performance in FY2025-26, crossing the ₹1,000 Crore total income milestone for the first time in the Company's history. Consolidated total income reached ₹1,069.1 Crore, up 10% year-on-year, while revenue from operations grew 11% to ₹1,047 Crore. Profit After Tax nearly doubled to ₹141.6 Crore—a 99% increase over the previous year—marking the Company's sixth consecutive quarter of PAT profitability. The results were presented as part of the 40th Annual Report for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.

Consolidated Financial Performance

The Company delivered broad-based improvement across all key financial metrics. EBITDA rose 21% to ₹444.0 Crore, with an EBITDA margin of 42% of total income—an expansion of 4 percentage points year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA (excluding other income) stood at ₹422.7 Crore, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 40% of revenue from operations. Finance costs declined 11% to ₹96.6 Crore, driven by the full repayment of External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) during the year.

Profit Before Tax before exceptional items increased 57% to ₹235.3 Crore. After accounting for exceptional items of ₹43.3 Crore, Profit Before Tax stood at ₹192.0 Crore, representing a 28% year-on-year increase. The Company carries accumulated tax losses exceeding ₹1,095 Crore, supporting a zero-cash-tax position through the current growth phase.

Operating Metrics: Rate-Led Growth Across Portfolio

The Company delivered broad-based growth across all key operating metrics, driven by sustained demand in the luxury and upper-upscale hospitality segments, robust pricing power, and continued portfolio optimisation.

ARR-led growth, rather than occupancy expansion, remained the primary engine of RevPAR improvement, consistent with the Company's focus on premium customer segments. Employee cost as a percentage of revenue was 17.72% in 2025-26, and power and fuel expenses as a percentage of revenue were 5.3%.

Balance Sheet and Capital Structure

As on March 31, 2026, the Company's balance sheet reflected the strength built through debt restructuring and ongoing expansion. Equity stood at ₹2,868.4 Crore in 2025-26, compared to ₹2,726.7 Crore in 2024-25. Net bank debt stood at ₹625 Crore, with net bank debt to TTM EBITDA at 1.6x and net debt to equity at 0.2x, both unchanged year-on-year. Gross bank debt stood at ₹742 Crore, and the effective cost of debt was 8.27% as on March 31, 2026.

During the year, the Company repaid ₹267 Crore (including accrued interest) of ECBs, reducing exposure to USD-INR volatility. Total capital work-in-progress increased to ₹345 Crore as on March 31, 2026, from ₹256 Crore a year earlier, driven by the Bengaluru asset under construction, the Kaziranga resort, and upgrades at Grand Hyatt Mumbai.
