Q4 Financial Performance Overview

The company's Q4 results present a mixed picture with revenue growth being overshadowed by declining profitability. Managing Director and CEO Manoj Bhat highlighted that FY26 has been a year of transformation, with the launch of the simplified Keystone product portfolio in December 2025.

Standalone Performance and Strategic Initiatives

On a standalone basis, the company demonstrated stronger performance with total income of ₹407 crores and EBITDA of ₹142 crores, up 8% year-on-year. The EBITDA margin expanded by more than 180 basis points to 34.9%. However, the company took an impairment charge of ₹234 crores towards equity investment in its Mauritius entity due to HCRO business outlook.

Network Expansion and Operational Highlights

Mahindra Holidays achieved significant expansion milestones during FY26, adding 900 keys - the highest ever in the company's history. The company added 7 managed resorts and completed expansions at 5 existing properties. During Q4, three new resorts were added in Dapoli, North Goa, and Chikkamagalur in Karnataka.

The company's total inventory now stands at 6,228 keys, with plans to add more than 1,000 keys in FY27. Resort occupancy remained strong at above 80%, with double-digit resort revenue growth during the quarter. The member-to-room ratio has improved to below 52, creating opportunities for non-member revenue growth.

Product Innovation and Member Engagement

The launch of the Keystone product portfolio has driven significant member engagement, with upgrade value increasing 33% year-on-year. The Average Unit Realization (AUR) reached ₹14 lakhs including upgrades, with new sales AUR increasing approximately 30%. Sales value for the quarter was ₹162 crores, representing new sales plus upgrades.

The company added 1,144 new Keystone members at the net level, maintaining an overall membership base of approximately 304,000. Referral and digital channels now account for 69% of total customer acquisition, up from 63% in the previous year.

International Operations Challenges

The European subsidiary faced significant headwinds due to weather conditions in Finland, with no snow for 1.5 months impacting visitor arrivals. CFO Vimal Agarwal noted that geopolitical headwinds, slowdown in the Finnish economy, and adverse weather conditions affected international operations throughout the year.

Full Year Performance and Outlook

For the full year FY26, standalone total income reached ₹1,613 crores, up 4%, with resort income growing 12% year-on-year. Standalone EBITDA margin improved to 36.7% from 31.8% in FY25. Reported standalone PAT was ₹5 crores, but excluding one-off charges, PAT stood at ₹240 crores, up 22% year-on-year.

At the consolidated level, total reported PAT for FY26 was ₹67 crores. Excluding one-off items primarily Labor Code and forex movement, PAT was ₹136 crores for FY26 versus ₹126 crores in FY25, representing 2% growth excluding one-offs.

The company maintains a healthy cash position of ₹1,446 crores as of March 31, 2026, with plans to deploy capital towards resort transformations, new developments in Theog and Ganpatipule, and land acquisitions including a 50-acre parcel in Chikkamagalur. Management indicated that only 25-30% of future room additions will be owned, with the balance coming from capital-light models such as leases.
