Investment Rationale
Lemon Tree Hotels reported Q4FY25 consolidated revenue of Rs 3.8 billion (up 15% YoY) in-line with I-Sec estimates as portfolio ARRs (including Mumbai Aurika) grew 7% YoY, while occupancy for the quarter stood at 77.6%, which increased 557bps YoY. This translated into a RevPAR of Rs 5,462, rising 15% YoY. Hence, Q4FY25 EBITDA of Rs 2 billion was up 19% YoY at a margin of 54%, which was up 154bps YoY. ICICI Securities expects the company’s net debt to reduce to ~Rs 11 billion by Mar’27E (Rs 17 billion, as of Mar’25) driven by scale-up in Aurika Mumbai ARRs to over Rs 12,000. The brokerage retains the BUY rating with an SoTP-based target price of Rs 174, based on 22x Mar?27E EV/EBITDA. Key risks are demand slowdown in occupancies and room rates.
