SAMHI Hotels Ltd, a leading branded hotel ownership and asset management platform in India, reported robust operating and financial performance for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025, driven by higher room rates, strong occupancy and disciplined execution across its portfolio.
For Q3 FY26, the company reported a 13.3% year-on-year increase in RevPAR to INR 5,643, with occupancy at 73%. Total income for the quarter rose 16.2% to INR 3,419 million, while consolidated EBITDA grew 13.2% year-on-year to INR 1,263 million. Profit after tax surged 111.3% to INR 481 million, supported by higher operating leverage and lower finance costs.
During the nine-month period ended December 2025, RevPAR increased 11.7% year-on-year, with occupancy averaging 74%. Total income stood at INR 9,255 million, up 13.5%, while consolidated EBITDA rose 15.2% to INR 3,424 million. PAT for the period jumped sharply to INR1,671 million, compared to INR396 million in the corresponding period last year.
The company noted that EBITDA margins were temporarily impacted by a change in GST slabs during the quarter. Excluding this impact, EBITDA growth for Q3 FY26 would have been over 19% year-on-year, reflecting strong underlying operating momentum.
SAMHI also reported a continued strengthening of its balance sheet, with net debt reducing to INR14,503 million as of December 31, 2025, and net debt-to-EBITDA improving to 3.0x from 4.4x a year earlier. Lower interest rates and improved cash generation contributed to a significant reduction in annualised interest costs.
Commenting on the results, Ashish Jakhanwala, Chairman and Managing Director, SAMHI Hotels Ltd, said the company delivered resilient performance despite external disruptions, supported by sustained RevPAR growth and strong revenue flow-through. He added that surplus cash generation of around ₹300 crore over the trailing twelve months has further strengthened SAMHI’s financial position and supports its ongoing expansion plans.
The company continues to make progress on its growth pipeline, including projects such as W Hyderabad and Westin Bengaluru, and remains confident of maintaining steady same-store growth and long-term value creation for shareholders.
