Commenting on the performance, Ashish Jakhanwala, Chairman & Managing Director, SAMHI Hotels Ltd said, “We are pleased to announce results for the period ending 30th June 2025. Despite a short period of interruption due to geopolitical issues, we continue to see good growth across our portfolio. This sets a strong base for future. Total revenue growth was ~13.0% with a consol. EBITDA growth of 18.6% over same period last year despite a moderate growth during the month of May. With strong growth in EBITDA and reduction in finance cost, we witnessed ~4.5x growth in PAT for the quarter.

Post the recently concluded transaction with GIC, we have strengthened our balance sheet to allow us focusing on growth. With a strong pipeline of assets under rebranding and/or completion, we are excited about overall prospects of our company. We also estimate a strong investible surplus available that will allow us to seek value accretive M&A and continued expansion through highly capital efficient variable leases.

We have also entered into an agreement to sell Caspia Hotel, New Delhi. This follows our stated strategy of capital recycling for improving returns for our shareholders. Since 2023 we have concluded over ₹2.1bn of asset sales at average EV/EBITDA multiple of ~20x & incremental ~₹7.5bn of minority dilution in favor of GIC.  At the same time, we have invested/ committed to invest ₹10.0bn+ in new assets and rebranding which will be at a material premium in terms of returns. 

We remain committed to disciplined growth, operational excellence, clear communication and excited about the prospects for SAMHI.”
