Juniper Hotels Sets Date for INR 1,800 Crore IPO Under Hyatt Brand

Published on February 17, 2024

In a significant development for India's hospitality sector, Juniper Hotels, known for its affiliation with the prestigious Hyatt brand, has declared the opening of its initial public offering (IPO) valued at INR 1,800 crore. Scheduled to open for subscription on February 21 and closing on February 23, this IPO marks a pivotal moment for the company as it seeks to expand its footprint and consolidate its position in the luxury hotel market.

Structured entirely as a fresh equity issue with a face value of Rs 10 per share, the IPO lacks an offer for sale (OFS) component. The pricing band for the public offer is to be announced shortly, with a significant portion of the IPO being strategically reserved: 75 percent for qualified institutional buyers, 15 percent for non-institutional investors, and the remaining 10 percent for retail investors.

Juniper Hotels intends to allocate the net proceeds from the IPO—estimated at INR 1,500 crore—towards the repayment, prepayment, or redemption of certain outstanding borrowings and for general corporate purposes. This financial maneuver is expected to strengthen the company’s balance sheet and support its ongoing and future projects.

The company, a joint venture between Saraf Hotels and Two Seas Holdings (affiliated with Hyatt Hotels Corp.), currently boasts ownership of 20 percent of the total 1836 Hyatt-affiliated keys in India as of June 2023. Its portfolio encompasses seven hotels and serviced apartments spread across Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Raipur, and Hampi, catering to a variety of market segments from luxury to upscale.

Highlighting its financial growth, Juniper Hotels reported a significant increase in revenue from operations, jumping 116 percent to INR 667 crore in fiscal 2023 from INR 309 crore the previous year. Moreover, the net loss for the company considerably narrowed to INR 1.5 crore in fiscal 2023 from INR 188.03 crore in fiscal 2022, indicating robust recovery and operational efficiency.

The IPO is being managed by leading financial institutions such as JM Financial, CLSA India, and ICICI Securities, with KFin Technologies appointed as the registrar of the offer. Furthermore, the equity shares of Juniper Hotels are proposed to be listed on both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE), offering investors a valuable opportunity to partake in the company's growth journey.

As Juniper Hotels prepares to embark on this new chapter, the IPO stands as a testament to the company's resilience and commitment to excellence in the highly competitive hospitality industry.
