These reports offer NDTV Profit’s subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

Prabhudas Lilladher Report

Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd.’s operational performance was better than estimates with Ebitda margin of 52.4% (our estimate: 49.7%), despite higher renovation expense and deflationary impact of Aurika, Mumbai, which opened in Oct-23, but is not yet stable.

Nonetheless, Aurika’s Q4 FY24 KPIs are encouraging with occupancy of ~66% and ARR of Rs 9,000, and we expect revenues of Rs 2.4 billion/Rs 2.8 billion and Ebitda margin of 55%/60% in FY25E/FY26E, respectively.

Backed by the opening of Aurika, Mumbai, and expansion in managed room portfolio, we expect revenue/Ebitda compound annual growth rate of 18%/23% over FY24-FY26E.

We broadly maintain our estimates and retain ‘Buy’ on the stock with a revised target price of Rs 155 (earlier Rs 153) valuing it at an enterprise value/Ebitda multiple of 23 times (no change in target multiple).
