Yatra Posts 16.5% YoY Growth in Gross Bookings for Q1 FY27; EBITDA Declines Amid Headwinds​

Yatra Online Ltd has released its un-audited Standalone and Consolidated Financial Results for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2027 (Q1 FY27), showcasing robust top-line growth alongside profit pressures. The company reported gross bookings reaching INR 21,007 Mn, which marks a 16.5% increase year-over-year.

The results highlight strong transactional momentum across the travel sector. Total Air and Hotel & Package transactions saw an increase of 12.2% year-on-year. Furthermore, room nights grew approximately 30% year-over-year, supported by continued expansion in hotel supply. The company also reported that its Gross Margin increased by 6.1% year-over-year to INR 1,227 Mn.

In terms of corporate business, Yatra added 53 new corporate customers with an annual billable potential totaling INR 2,223 Mn. Additionally, the MSME Go-To-Market team secured over 30 new logos. International expansion is also underway as part of a seven-year partnership with Kanoo Travel, marking a significant move for Yatra’s enterprise travel platform.

Financial Performance and Challenges

Despite operational strength in bookings and Gross Margin, the company's EBITDA saw a decline of 45.6% year-over-year, closing at INR 132 Mn. This reduction was attributed primarily to weaker international MICE volumes and reduced margins. The performance was also affected by lower airline-related income, stemming from regional airlines delaying incentive finalization given the uncertain business environment. Moreover, Corporate Travel spends were observed to be muted year-over-year due to higher ticket prices, a trend expected to improve in Q2.

A comparison of key financial metrics for Q1 FY27 and previous periods provides insight into both growth areas and margin pressure:
