Yatra’s Revenue Rumble: How Q1 FY24 is Making Noise

Yatra’s Revenue Rumble: How Q1 FY24 is Making Noise

By Author

Published on October 19, 2023

Travel giant Yatra is painting the town red with its impressive Q1 FY24 numbers, boasting a 24% YoY revenue increase. With an EBITDA margin sitting pretty at 16% and a net profit of INR 60 million, up 3% YoY, it's clear - Yatra is not just in the game; it's leading it.

Operational Highlights

Air travel is taking off, and Yatra is the captain of this ship, reporting its strongest quarter in air bookings since Covid-19 clouded the skies. With a 41.5% YoY increase, outshining the industry's 14.8% growth, Yatra is soaring high. Moreover, the addition of 19 new corporate accounts fortifies its presence in the corporate travel terrain, pushing its annual billing potential to a whopping INR 1,510 million.

Financial Footnotes

A net profit of INR 60 million, marking a 3% YoY growth, has set the stage. Although it witnessed a 33% drop from Q4 FY23, the robust 24% YoY increase in operating revenue overshadows the sequential decline. However, the debut of Yatra’s shares on the Indian stock exchanges remained muted.

A Closer Look at the Numbers

The revenue tally from the Hotels and Packages business hit INR 448 million, up 17.6% compared to last year, echoing the revival of domestic travel and strategic additions of new distribution partners. Yet, a watchful eye on a 24% spike in total spending, with employee benefits and service costs marking the notable upticks, balances the narrative.

CEO's Insight

Dhruv Shringi, the man at the helm, attributes the robust start of FY24 to significant market share acquisition, underscored by the stellar growth in air travel bookings. The addition of new corporate customer accounts underlines the potency and leadership of Yatra’s Corporate Travel SaaS platform, adding another feather to its already embellished cap.

Stock Market Ballet

Yatra's shares, having made a soft landing on the Indian bourses, witnessed a dip post the Q1 FY24 results announcement. However, with a revenue narrative that’s as robust as Yatra’s, every ebb is a prelude to a potential flow.

Unfolding the Next Chapter

As Yatra waltzes into the future, with the echoes of a strong Q1 FY24 playing the background score, the travel maestro is not just hitting the right financial notes but is orchestrating a narrative of resilience, growth, and unyielding ascent. In the dynamic ballet of numbers, profit margins, and share prices, Yatra is not just a performer; it’s the choreographer, composing a symphony of growth, resilience, and unwavering ascendancy in the pulsating world of travel and hospitality.
