Unpacking Oyo profitability and its financial position in FY24
Medial

IPO bound Hospitality firm Oyo reported steady revenues during the fiscal year ending March 2024, but the SoftBank-backed company made a turnaround as far as bottomline is concerned. Oyo has posted Rs 230 crore profit in the last fiscal year as compared to Rs 1,286 crore losses in FY23. Oyoโ€™s revenue from operations declined 1.4% to Rs 5,389 crore in FY24 from Rs 5,464 crore in FY23, its consolidated annual report shows. Income from the sale of accommodation services formed 63.8% of the total operating revenue which decreased by 7.3% to Rs 3,441 crore in FY24. Income from commission and bookings brought Rs 1,344 crore to the firmโ€™s coffers. The sale of tour packages, events, cancellation income, and insurance services fees were other revenue drivers for Oyo. The Gurugram-based company also made Rs 153 crore from interest on fixed deposits and gain in foreign exchange difference which took its overall revenue to Rs 5,542 crore in FY24 from Rs 5,602 crore in FY23. See TheKredible for the detailed revenue breakup The cost of its lease rental and service component lease accounted for 50% of its overall cost which declined 8% to Rs 2,885 crore in FY24. This payment was made to hotel owners that includes lease rent and services such as housekeeping, electricity, and maintenance among others. The companyโ€™s burn on salaries and other employee benefit schemes nosedived 52% to Rs 744 crore in FY24, primarily due to a reduction in ESOP costs, which fell to Rs 107 crore in FY24 from Rs 363 crore in FY23. Oyo paid Rs 844 crore (around $100 million) in interest during FY24 on the $660 million term loan it secured from various lenders in FY22. Its advertising, commissions, brokerage, legal, IT, and other overheads catalyzed its total expenditure to Rs 5,726 crore in FY24. See TheKredible for the complete expense breakdown Despite the flat revenue, Oyoโ€™s cost-control approach and Rs 453 crore income from exceptional items (mostly a fair value gain of Rs 240 crore on the acquisition of OYO Hotels Cayman and Reversal of financial liability of Rs 249 crore) led Oyo to turn profitable with Rs 239 crore in FY24 as compared to a loss of Rs 1,286 crore in FY23. FY23-FY24 FY23 FY24 EBITDA Margin -4.23% 15.52% Expense/โ‚น of Op Revenue โ‚น1.24 โ‚น1.06 ROCE -8.60% 13.40% With the improved bottom line, Oyoโ€™s ROCE rose to 13.4%, and EBITDA to 15.5%. On a unit level, it spent Rs 1.06 to earn a rupee in FY24. Meanwhile, Oyo has managed to raise $175 million in two tranches of which $100 million was pumped in by the companyโ€™s founder Ritesh Agarwal.

Casa2 Stays-owned FabHotels has been keeping itself under the radar for the past couple of years and the firmโ€™s sheer focus on execution appears to have paid off well in the last fiscal year.

The company also has an income of Rs 12 crore from non-operating activities. Head to TheKredible for a detailed revenue breakup. The cost of accommodation formed 59% of the overall expenditure which increased by 30.8% to Rs 140 crore in FY23 from Rs 107 crore in FY22. Its employee benefits, commissions, brokerage, website development, legal/professional, and other overheads pushed FabHotelsโ€™ total cost by 47.5% to Rs 236 crore in FY23. Check TheKredible for a complete expense breakdown. The notable growth in scale and controlled cost mechanism helped FabHotels reduce its losses by 16.7% to a mere Rs 5 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin improved to -33% and -1.7% respectively. On a unit level, the firm spent Rs 1.08 to earn a rupee in FY23. FY22-FY23 FY22 FY23 EBITDA Margin -4% -1.7% Expense/โ‚น of Op Revenue โ‚น1.08 โ‚น1.08 ROCE -40% -33% FabHotels has raised $65 million across rounds and was last valued at around $141 million. According to data intelligence platform TheKredible, Accel is the largest external shareholder with 21.39% followed by Goldman Sachs and Panthera Growth Partners which command 20.52% and 10.64% respectively. Its co-founders Vaibhav Aggarwal and Adarssh Mnpuria together own 25.84%. FabHotels directly competes with Oyo, Treebo and several mid-segment independent chains. IPO-bound Oyo posted a revenue of Rs 5,464 crore in the last fiscal year while its losses stood at Rs 1,286 crore. Accor-funded Treebo Hotels reported Rs 89 crore income and Rs 3.6 crore loss during the fiscal year ending March 2023. Small is beautiful acquires a whole new meaning to FabHotels and its improving financials. The firm has had to build and survive challenges like the pandemic the hard way, and deserves credit for making it this far. Without the benefit of a generous backer like Softbank, Fabhotels has clearly made every rupee sweat harder to get where it has. With enough headroom for growth with its model, we believe the firm will see much better days ahead.
