Anand Rathi Report

RateGain Travel Technologies Ltd.’s Q1 revenue grew 21.2% YoY to ~Rs 2.6 billion (in line with the Street’s and our estimates). Ebitda grew 31.7% YoY to Rs 498 million, and the margin expanded 152 basis points YoY to 19.1% (versus our 20% estimate).

Management expects ~20% YoY organic revenue growth in FY25, with ~150-200bps YoY Ebitda margin improvement in coming quarters as well as for the full year (~19.8% margin in FY24).

Factoring in the lower Ebitda margin, we cut our FY25e/FY26e earnings 3.2%/3.4% and maintain a Buy rating, with a 12-month target price of Rs 935 (previously Rs 970), 45 times FY26e earnings.

Risks:

Slowdown in demand for travel, keener competition, hoteliers/online travel agents creating and offering their own solutions.
