Ventive Hospitality Ltd Q2 Results Date and Time

The board meets on November 02, 2026 to approve the Q2/H1 FY27 results; the trading window has been shut since October 1 and reopens 48 hours after the results.

The earnings call for Q2/H1 FY27 results is scheduled for November 3, 2026 at 4:00 PM IST.

What to expect from Ventive Hospitality Ltd's Q2 FY27 results

The Q2 print is the test of management's promise that a Q3/Q4 peak-season recovery will offset the war-hit Q1/Q2 in the Maldives, with FY27 guidance of low-teen revenue growth and high-teen EBITDA growth conditional on geopolitical normalization. Demand in the Maldives recovered through the quarter — July-September tourist arrivals totalled 527,310, up 9.7% versus the same months of 2024 — but the fuel-cost relief management counted on did not materialise, with Brent averaging $114/b in September and peaking at $131 on September 15 before easing late in the month. A weaker rupee is a partial cushion: USD/INR traded around 95.2-96.6 through the quarter against the Q1 FY27 average of 94.7, and management's stated sensitivity is roughly Rs. 15 crore of EBITDA per Rs. 1 move. In India, the Q1 momentum was strong — occupancy of 67% (up 7pp), ADR up 8% and RevPAR of Rs. 13,154 up 20% — against a 72% short-term occupancy target, with the annuity book steady at an 87% margin and 98% committed occupancy. Watch whether the Maldives margin guidance withheld in Q1 ('It'll all depend on the war situation') is reinstated, and how the Kelzai acquisition (Rs. 281.88 Cr SPA signed July 9, 2026) lands in the quarter's debt and cash position.

Key Things To Watch

FY27 guidance tracking: Q2 FY27 is the second data point on the low-teen revenue / high-teen EBITDA growth guidance.

  • Low-teen revenue / high-teen EBITDA growth for FY27 — listen for whether guidance is maintained or qualified given the war re-escalation
  • Management has repeatedly said Q3/Q4 will offset the war-hit Q1/Q2 — check whether Q2 Maldives showed the promised sequential recovery

Maldives margin recovery and fuel costs

  • Diesel had recovered 26% from peak by July, but Brent re-escalated to a $114 September average with a $131 peak on September 15 — watch whether the International segment's Q1 decline of 32% narrowed
  • Whether the margin guidance withheld in Q1 ('It'll all depend on the war situation') is reinstated or withheld again
  • Progress on the 4.1 MW solar addition and Raaya's target of running generator-free 17 hours a day (>80% on solar) by April 2027

India occupancy and RevPAR trajectory

  • Occupancy of 67% in Q1 FY27 (+7pp) versus the 72% short-term target and management's 'high 70s' stabilization estimate
  • Whether ADR and occupancy rose together again, extending Q1's 20% India RevPAR growth

Kelzai, Hilton Goa and pipeline execution

  • Kelzai/Sahyadri Hills: funding mix, tourism incentive subsidies, branded-villa sales launch, and confirmation of the above-12% yield-on-cost; operational targeted in 2 to 2.5 years
  • Hilton Goa: 60-70 key addition toward ~200 keys, higher-brand talks with Hilton, and the Rs. 100 crore capex over the next 18 months
  • Sri Lanka Ritz-Carlton Reserve: confirmation of the revised ~FY30 timeline and permission resolution

Balance sheet, EBITDA adjustments and NCLT appeal

  • Total debt of Rs. 2,095 crores and net debt-to-EBITDA of 1.2x at Q1 FY27 against the internal-accrual funding narrative; watch debt build from the Kelzai outlay and Rs. 665 Cr subsidiary support
  • Size and consistency of adjusted-vs-reported EBITDA add-backs (Q1 FY27 carried a Rs. 255 Mn adjustment for the Maldives diesel spike and one-time corporate costs)
  • Update on the appeal against Point No. 22 of the NCLT Mumbai order dated September 23, 2026 on the amalgamation scheme

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Ventive Hospitality's Maldives EBITDA fall 32% in Q1 FY27?

The decline was driven by the diesel cost spike from the West Asia conflict, which added Rs. 17 crores of direct cost plus Rs. 2 crores of indirect impact. Management said that excluding the diesel spike, Maldives EBITDA would have grown 10% instead of the reported -32%.

What growth has Ventive Hospitality guided for FY27?

CEO Ranjit Batra has guided to low-teen revenue growth and high-teen EBITDA growth for FY27, conditional on the geopolitical situation normalising. Management has also said Q3 and Q4 peak-season recovery should offset the war-hit Q1 and Q2.

What occupancy is Ventive targeting for its India hotels?

Management has set a short-term India occupancy target of 72%, rising to about 75% over the medium term of 4-5 years. In the Q1 FY27 call, the CEO said occupancy should stabilise 'in high 70s' over time, up from 67% in Q1.

How is the Hilton Goa expansion progressing?

The 104-key asset, acquired in FY26 for Rs. 120 crore, is showing what management called encouraging signs of occupancy and revenue growth, with 60-70 new keys planned toward roughly 200 keys by integrating Sol de Goa. A further Rs. 100 crore of capex is planned over the next 18 months, alongside talks with Hilton for a higher brand within its system.
