LGT Global Hospitality Limited reported a 35% year-on-year revenue increase to ₹13,544.70 lakh in FY26, driven by strong corporate travel demand and geographic expansion across India.

The Chennai-based travel and hospitality firm saw its standalone net profit decline 12% to ₹459.13 lakh from ₹521.59 lakh in FY25, as increased operational expenditure associated with new branch openings and acquisitions offset top-line growth.

Financial Performance

The company’s revenue from operations rose to ₹13,544.70 lakh in FY26, up from ₹10,042.91 lakh in the previous fiscal year. This growth was primarily fueled by its core verticals: Travel Related Services contributed ₹10,149.57 lakh (75% of total revenue), while Accommodation Services added ₹3,395.13 lakh.

Despite the revenue surge, profitability faced pressure. EBITDA remained broadly stable at ₹834.48 lakh, compared to ₹844.76 lakh in FY25. The net profit after tax stood at ₹459.13 lakh, down from ₹521.59 lakh in FY25. Earnings per share (EPS) decreased to ₹5.46 from ₹7.44 in the prior year.

Strategic Expansion and IPO Proceeds

FY26 marked a significant transition for LGT Global Hospitality, which completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the BSE SME Platform in August 2025. The company raised net proceeds of ₹2,192.49 lakh through the fresh issue of shares. As of March 31, 2026, approximately ₹1,286.26 lakh of these funds had been utilized for capital expenditure, working capital, and general corporate purposes. The remaining balance is temporarily invested in fixed deposits.

The company also expanded its footprint through acquisitions, securing controlling stakes in Travflix Tours Limited (51%), Holiday One Private Limited (51%), and Yaja Travel Solutions Private Limited (60%). These moves aim to diversify its service offerings into niche leisure and sector-specific corporate travel segments.

What the Numbers Show

A notable divergence exists between revenue growth and cash flow generation. While revenue grew by over 35%, operating cash flows turned negative at ₹(326.29) lakh, compared to positive inflows of ₹75.53 lakh in FY25. This shift reflects a significant increase in trade receivables, which rose to ₹1,809.92 lakh from ₹1,262.35 lakh in FY25. The growing receivables base, alongside higher advances to suppliers, indicates that the company is extending more credit to clients and pre-paying vendors to support its rapid expansion, potentially signaling tighter working capital management requirements in the near term.

Dividend and Governance

The Board of Directors recommended a final dividend of ₹0.25 per equity share for FY26, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. The company also changed its name from LGT Business Connexions Limited to LGT Global Hospitality Limited during the year, reflecting its broader hospitality focus.

LGT Global Hospitality has set September 25, 2026 as the record date for its dividend distribution. The company will maintain a book closure from September 25 to September 30, 2026 to determine eligible shareholders.

The announcement was made in a filing to the BSE Listing Department on September 7, 2026. LGT Global Hospitality, formerly known as LGT Business Connexions Limited, issued the notice pursuant to Section 91 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
