Ebitda margin growth was driven by growth in room and F&B revenue, higher management fees, structural cost interventions and operating leverage.
According to the investor presentation by the company, room revenue growth was driven by robust performance in the retail, corporate and MICE segments.
Food & Beverage revenue grew 5% on a high base (2-year CAGR 10%) driven by outlets and banqueting.
"The Business continued to delight its guests through innovative culinary offerings and strategic refresh of Food & Beverage outlets. During the Quarter, ‘Avartana’ at ITC Grand Chola Chennai, ‘Bukhara’ & ‘Dum Pukht’ at ITC Maurya, New Delhi won top honors at the Condé Nast Traveller Top 50 Restaurants", the presentation highlighted.
Besides this, the company successfully re-launched ‘Edo’ at ITC Gardenia "with a vibrant concept and refreshed look."
Wedding segment revenue was relatively lower on account of lesser auspicious dates in the quarter.
