FabHotels gross revenue crosses Rs 550 Cr in FY24, losses widen 23% Casa2 Stays, the parent firm of FabHotels, reported a 34% increase in gross revenue for the fiscal year ending March 2024. However, its loss rose by 23%, driven by a twofold increase in employee benefit expenses. FabHotels’ gross revenue increased to Rs 552 crore in FY24 from Rs 412 crore in the previous fiscal year (FY23), according to its financial statement sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). The revenue for FY23 appears different this year as it marks FabHotels’ first set of financial statements prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS). FabHotels, a budget hotel chain with over 600 properties across more than 50 cities in India, generated 99.4% of its gross revenue from accommodation bookings. Gross revenue increased by 33.35% to Rs 549 crore in FY24. Meanwhile, other revenue sources contributed Rs 3.3 crore. The company also recorded an additional income of Rs 11 crore from interest on deposits and liabilities written off, which pushed its overall revenue to Rs 563.6 crore in the last fiscal year. Accommodation expenses remained the largest cost component forming 74% of the overall cost, which grew by 32% to Rs 435 crore. FabHotels’ employee costs shot up 2X to Rs 92 crore in FY24. This includes Rs 15 crore as ESOP cost. Its commission expenses rose by 8% to Rs 27 crore, while other costs added Rs 34 crore. Overall, total expenses grew by 38.5% to Rs 588 crore in FY24 from Rs 424.7 crore in FY23. The two-fold jump in employee benefits led FabHotel to increase its losses by 23% to Rs 114 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 93 crore in FY23. Its ROCE and EBITDA Margin were recorded at -84.09% and -19.52%, respectively. On a unit basis, the company spent Rs 1.06 to earn a rupee of revenue. At the end of FY24, FabHotel’s current assets stood at Rs 172 crore, including cash and bank balances worth Rs 94 crore. FabHotel has raised around $70 million to date. Accel is the largest external stakeholder with 21.39% followed by Goldman Sachs. FabHotels competes directly with Treebo and Bloom Hotels. In FY24, Treebo surpassed Rs 100 crore in revenue, while Bloom Hotels achieved a 73.6% increase in operational revenue to Rs 250 crore and recorded a profit of Rs 14 crore. FabHotels, with its budget offerings and reach, faces a moment of truth to deliver sustainable profitability that can power future growth. The hospitality sector leaves very little margin for major misses now. FabHotels has placed its bets, with little leeway to change much now. Judgement awaits in the next few months and year, perhaps.

Fintrackr All Stories Bakingo crosses Rs 200 Cr revenue in FY24 with marginal losses Online bakery brand Bakingo recorded a 43% year-on-year growth during the last fiscal year ending March 2024. However, in pursuit of expansion, the losses for the Gurugram-based company increased marginally in the same period. Bakingo’s revenue from operations grew by 43% to Rs 208.7 crore in FY24, compared to Rs 145.7 crore in FY23, its consolidated financial statements sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. Founded by Himanshu Chawla, Shrey Sehgal, and Suman Patra, Bakingo offers a variety of cakes and desserts, including its signature Cheesecake, Gourmet Cakes, Jar Cakes, and over 100 SKUs. The sale of these products was the only source of revenue for Bakingo. For the bakery firm, the cost of product procurement accounted for 42.2% of its overall expenditure. To the tune of scale, this cost increased 43% to Rs 90 crore in FY24. Its employee benefit grew by 40% to Rs 31.6 crore, while advertising expenses rose by 38% to Rs 27.7 crore. Platform commission fees also saw a jump of 65% to Rs 26.2 crore. Overall, Bakingo’s total expenses rose by 46% to Rs 213.8 crore in FY24 from Rs 146.3 crore in FY23. The surge in employee benefits, advertising, and procurement costs outpaced the revenue growth, resulting in its losses to increase to Rs 5.3 crore in FY24. Its ROCE and EBITDA margin stood at -6.05% and -0.98% respectively. Bakingo’s expense-to-revenue ratio was recorded at Rs 1.02 with total current assets of Rs 96.5 crore during FY24. Bakingo has raised $16 million (Rs 130 crore) to date, which was its maiden round led by Faering Capital last year at a valuation of Rs 571 crore. According to Fintrackr’s estimates, its enterprise value to revenue multiple stood at 2.7X. The growth in the last year seems to be an outcome of being able to optimise operations to a higher level. In a discretionary category with very high competition, we believe Bakingo still has work to do on the brand, quality perception and distribution to keep growing. For now, it seems to be simply a branded offering for those looking to buy from one, rather than the neighborhood shop or bakery. Signature offerings, better word of mouth, and perhaps even packaging are all gaps that need work.
