TBO Tek Reports Solid Q1 FY27; Organic Growth and Operating Leverage Drive Margin Expansion

TBO Tek Reports Solid Q1 FY27; Organic Growth and Operating Leverage Drive Margin Expansion​

TBO Tek Limited delivered a robust performance in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2027, characterized by significant GTV growth and successful margin expansion driven by improved operating leverage. The company noted that this outcome represented an inflection point where Gross Profit growth started outpacing SG&A (Selling, General, and Administrative) growth.

The results were announced amidst geopolitical headwinds emanating from the Middle East crisis, yet TBO’s platform continued to demonstrate resilience through its diversification and operational efficiency.

Q1 Highlights and Operational Strength​

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Gross Transaction Value (GTV) stood at ₹11,154 Cr, reflecting a 37% year-on-year increase. Organic GTV (excluding Classic Vacations) was ₹9,918 Cr, up 22% YoY.

The Hotels and Ancillary business demonstrated strong growth, increasing by 49.8% on a consolidated basis, or 27.3% for the organic segment. The India Airlines business saw a 14.7% increase in this segment’s GTV. Monthly Transacting Buyers (MTBs) reached 33,736 for the quarter, marking a 14% rise YoY.

The operational efficiency of TBO significantly improved. The inherent operating leverage led to a 25% growth in Adjusted EBITDA. For the organic business alone, Adj. EBITDA margin expanded to 18%, while Gross Profit grew by 16%.

Market Dynamics and Geographic Performance​

The company’s performance was analyzed across several key geographical segments:

India: The Indian market remained the largest base of transacting buyers, showing overall GTV growth of 11.4% YoY. While the Airlines business saw healthy growth at 14.7%, the Hotels + Ancillary segment contracted by 2% due to volumes rerouting towards destinations with lower average booking values.

Europe: Europe continued to lead in growth, reporting a GTV increase of 37% (24% in constant currency). The performance was bolstered by strong fundamentals and rapid growth in source cities within the region.

Middle East & Africa (MEA): GTV in the MEA market remained flattish, showing a CC growth of +1%. Despite continued geopolitical challenges, key markets such as UAE, Qatar, and South Africa recorded positive YoY constant currency growth for the first quarter of FY27.

Asia Pacific (APAC): APAC was identified as the fastest-growing market, posting a 56% YoY GTV increase (41% in CC). This rapid expansion was attributed to improved top of funnel conversion and continued agency acquisition across established and emerging markets.

Financial Performance Summary​

The consolidated financials for the quarter reflected strong profitability despite facing geopolitical risks that impacted specific regional margins. Cash and Cash Equivalents stood at ₹1,984 Cr as of June 30, 2026, an increase of ₹392 Cr from March 31, 2026, supported in part by working capital release.

The company noted that the moderation in SG&A growth is structural and sustained, with initiatives focused on infrastructure efficiency, hosting, and bandwidth expenses resulting in a 13.7% decline YoY for those costs despite increasing platform activity.
