Wonderla Q1FY27: standalone PAT +38% YoY to ₹72.8 Cr on 44% revenue growth

Wonderla Holidays' standalone Q1 FY27 (June quarter) revenue rose 44.2% YoY to ₹242.63 Cr (₹168.24 Cr a year ago), and net profit grew 38.5% YoY to ₹72.80 Cr (₹52.57 Cr), with basic EPS at ₹11.48 versus ₹8.29. Sequentially the jump looks dramatic — revenue up 78.6% and PAT up over 3x versus the March quarter's ₹135.85 Cr / ₹16.42 Cr — but that is a seasonal artifact: Q1 (April-June) is the peak summer window for a water-park operator and should not be read as momentum. The YoY comparison is the one that matters, and it shows broad-based growth rather than a one-off spike, aided by the fifth park at Chennai (commercial operations since 2 December 2025) delivering its first full peak-season quarter, plus the new "Isle" glamping pods (live since 9 May 2025) — the filing explicitly flags prior-period figures as not comparable because of these additions (note 5).

Net margin was essentially flat YoY (~28.9% of total income versus ~29.4% a year ago) despite depreciation surging 68% YoY to ₹28.39 Cr as the new Chennai asset base and glamping pods came onto the books — normally a drag on margin during ramp-up. That was largely offset by a lower effective tax rate (22.1% this quarter versus 25.4% a year ago), which let PAT growth (38.5%) outpace PBT growth (32.6%). Employee costs (+44.3% YoY) and other expenses (+42.2% YoY) scaled roughly in line with revenue, consistent with the new park's operating base rather than cost overruns.

The stock went into the print at ₹500.05, up 1.9% over the past month of trading.

For context: this is the second-highest quarterly PAT of the last 6 quarters; PAT has now risen for 3 consecutive quarters.

No exceptional items this quarter, versus a ₹(3.63) Cr new-labour-code charge that hit Q4 FY26 PBT

Management's prior guidance (Q4 FY26 call) pointed to an optimistic FY27 outlook built on a full year of Chennai park contribution and EBITDA margins improving toward a historical ~40% level as new parks mature, alongside near-term sustaining capex of ₹35-40 Cr and a longer-term plan to add 2-3 Tier-1 city parks over five years. This quarter's growth is squarely on that script — the Chennai park is doing the heavy lifting flagged last quarter — though the ~40% EBITDA reference isn't directly comparable to this print since Q1 is the seasonally strongest quarter and margins here are elevated versus a full-year blend. No press release accompanied this filing, so there is no management commentary to reconcile against the numbers beyond the standard SEBI board-outcome letter. We found no analyst consensus estimates published ahead of this print, so the result cannot be graded against Street numbers this quarter. Alongside the results, the board fixed 7 August 2026 as record date for a ₹2/share dividend, with the AGM set for 19 August 2026.
