Juniper Hotels Ltd

Juniper Hotels Limited announced its unaudited financial results for Q2 and H1 FY27. The company reported a Total Income of ₹258.1 Cr for Q2 FY27, a 10% YoY increase. EBITDA stood at ₹91.4 Cr, up 5% YoY, with an EBITDA margin of 35%. Profit Before Tax (PBT) surged by 108% to ₹49.4 Cr, and Profit After Tax (PAT) grew by 121% to ₹37.2 Cr. For H1 FY27, Total Income was ₹510.3 Cr (up 10% YoY), EBITDA was ₹180.3 Cr (up 4% YoY), and PAT was ₹70.4 Cr (up 173% YoY). Key performance indicators showed Consolidated ARR increased by 9% to ₹11,514 and Consolidated RevPAR by 12.2% to ₹8,601. The company also highlighted strategic growth initiatives, including the acquisition of Novotel Imagicaa and the soft opening of Westin Bengaluru Phase I, with a vision to double room inventory and EBITDA by FY30-31. Net debt was reduced to ₹633 Cr, with Net Debt/EBITDA at 1.4x.

Juniper Hotels Limited announced that its Board of Directors, in a meeting held on November 05, 2026, has approved the Unaudited Standalone and Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. The financial results were accompanied by a Limited Review Report from statutory auditors S R B C & CO LLP. The board meeting commenced at 9:45 a.m. and concluded at 12:15 p.m. The company has also made this information available on its website.

Juniper Hotels' consolidated PAT came in at ₹37.17 Cr for Q2 FY27, up 121.1% YoY from ₹16.81 Cr and up 11.8% QoQ from ₹33.26 Cr, on revenue of ₹249.53 Cr (+8.3% YoY, flat QoQ). The YoY comparison is flattered by a base effect: Q2 FY26 absorbed a ₹3.79 Cr exceptional litigation-settlement charge at subsidiary Chartered Hotels (not present in standalone), which this quarter has none of. Stripping that one-off from the year-ago base gives an adjusted YoY PAT growth of roughly +80%, still well ahead of revenue growth but materially below the 121% reported headline — adjusted growth is the more representative read. Standalone PAT of ₹40.70 Cr (+74.7% YoY on revenue +9.5% YoY) is a cleaner comparison since the prior-year exceptional item never touched the standalone books, and it corroborates the ~80% underlying pace rather than the 121% consolidated print; readers should treat the two bases as telling a similar, not identical, story. The bulk of the consolidated PAT beat came from below the operating line rather than from core hotel economics: finance costs nearly halved YoY to ₹15.26 Cr from ₹30.28 Cr (deleveraging/refinancing) and D&A fell 9.6% YoY to ₹26.70 Cr. By contrast, operating profit margin (PBT-plus-finance-and-D&A-minus-other-income, over revenue) actually slipped to ~33.2% from 34.2% a year ago and 34.6% last quarter, as 'other expenses' rose 19.0% YoY to ₹97.45 Cr — well ahead of the 8.3% revenue growth — while food & beverage and employee costs each grew roughly 5%. Net margin (NPM) nonetheless expanded sharply to 14.4% from 7.2% YoY (13.2% QoQ), since the finance-cost relief flowed straight to the bottom line. No analyst consensus specifically for this quarter turned up in search; the only available street reference is a full-year FY27 PAT growth projection of 15-20% cited by brokerages, which the H1 FY27 run-rate (standalone PAT already ₹75.86 Cr for six months, per the filing) is tracking ahead of, though this is a loose annual yardstick rather than a quarterly estimate, so vsStreet is marked unknown. Against the company's own FY26-call framing — 11% FY26 revenue growth, 'continued strong performance' and domestic-demand tailwinds — this quarter's 8.3% YoY revenue growth is directionally consistent but a shade slower than that pace, even as profitability outstripped it by a wide margin. No management press release or quarterly commentary was available in the filing beyond the standard board-outcome intimation, so there is no fresh management framing to reconcile against the numbers this quarter. On corporate activity, the company signed an MoU on September 16, 2026 (reiterated October 5) to acquire Novotel Imagicaa for ₹248 Cr, adding inventory ahead of the >1,400-room FY30 expansion pipeline (Delhi, Bengaluru) flagged on the last call; it also appointed an investor-relations agency and relocated its RTA's corporate office this quarter — both administrative, with no direct P&L bearing this period.
