Management Comments:

Commenting on the results, Whole Time Director cum Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Dhruv Shringi stated:

“For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we reported strong growth both year over year and sequentially. Our Revenue grew 151% year-over-year to INR 2,364 million, on account of strong growth in our Hotel and Packages and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) businesses. Adjusted EBITDA at INR 136 million for the quarter was up 29% year-over-year. Despite the challenges in the B2C air business, we continue to drive strong growth in our Hotels and MICE lines of business, which helped us more than offset the negative impact of the B2C air business.

We also successfully completed the acquisition of Globe Travels and welcomed the Globe employees and customers to the Yatra family. Globe Travels’ expertise in MICE complements our recent organic expansion in this segment, positioning Yatra as one of India’s largest players in this segment. With minimal overlap in client portfolios, this acquisition diversifies our client base and enhances cross-selling opportunities for hotels and expense management services. Additionally, integrating our digital booking platform with Globe’s largely offline business is expected to drive synergies, operational efficiencies, and cost savings for our corporate clients.

We are encouraged by the strong momentum across all metrics in our Corporate Travel business, underscored by our growth in new accounts and MICE capabilities. As we continue to navigate a dynamic market, our focus remains on executing our strategic priorities to reinforce our market leadership and drive long-term value for stakeholders.”
