SAMHI Hotels Announces Strong Q2 FY27 Financial Performance
SAMHI Hotels Limited has released its unaudited Standalone and Consolidated financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2026. The company showcased significant growth, driven by a strong operating environment and robust domestic demand.
Key Financial Highlights for Q2 FY27
The reported results highlight a substantial increase in key financial metrics:
- Total Income: Grew by 15.6% year-on-year to Rs. 3,427 million in Q2 FY27.
- Consolidated EBITDA: Increased by 12.0% to Rs. 1,238 million.
- EBITDA Margin: Stood at 36.1%.
- Profit Before Tax (PBT) (before exceptional items): Rose by 39.9% to Rs. 534 million.
- Profit After Tax (PAT): Increased to Rs. 411 million, although reported PAT includes exceptional items.
Operational Performance and Strategic Drivers
The company emphasized strong same-store revenue growth of 12.6% year-on-year, outpacing its long-term guidance. Occupancy levels reached 78.6%, up from 75.0% in Q2 FY26. Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) grew by 14.3%, fueled by a 9.2% increase in Average Daily Rate (ARR). Domestic travellers, constituting approximately 80% of room nights sold, proved to be a resilient customer segment amid geopolitical uncertainties.
Management commentary from MD & CEO, Mr. Ashish Jakhanwala, highlighted that the revenue growth remained ahead of long-term guidance, and occupancy held close to 80%. The resilience of domestic travellers reinforced confidence in the Indian economy.
Building for Future Growth
SAMHI Hotels is actively engaged in expanding its portfolio, with plans to open the W Hotel in Hyderabad in the next fiscal year. The company has secured a pipeline for approximately 1,700 new rooms through FY2031, focusing on acquisitions in core markets at a discount to replacement cost.
The company also noted a modest investment in RARE and ongoing discussions with Marriott to build a strong platform in experience-led leisure. Looking ahead, SAMHI expects H2 FY27 to be operationally stronger, with incremental EBITDA expected to translate into free cash flow, enabling internal funding of future growth investments.
Sustainability Initiatives
SAMHI Hotels released its first Sustainability Report for FY2025-26, covering 31 hotels and 4,899 rooms across 11 states, focusing on improvements in energy efficiency, waste reduction, and renewable energy usage.
