Revenue jumps 35% to ₹2,814 crore in Q1
PRISM, the parent company of OYO, reported a 35% year-on-year revenue increase to ₹2,814 crore for the April-June quarter of FY27. The figure, up from ₹2,078 crore in the same period last year, was confirmed by both YourStory and Inc42.
Ritesh Agarwal, PRISM’s founder, tied the growth to the company’s investments in technology and broader distribution. He highlighted this strategy during an October shareholders’ meeting.
Profit rises 17%, but tax credit flattered the numbers
Net profit rose 17% to ₹353 crore, but ₹244 crore of that came from a one-time deferred-tax credit. Without it, the underlying profit growth would have been modest.
EBITDA increased 24% to ₹760 crore, while adjusted EBITDA—excluding lease costs—rose 35% to ₹589 crore.
Gross Booking Value surged 30% to nearly ₹9,600 crore. Hotel bookings drove most of the growth, climbing 30%, while the vacation homes segment grew 28%.
North America delivers ₹14,000 crore in bookings
G6 Hospitality, PRISM’s North American arm, contributed roughly ₹14,000 crore in Gross Booking Value during FY26. The performance solidifies North America as a second major market alongside India.
Agarwal told shareholders that geographic diversification and technology investments have improved gross margins and operating earnings across both hotels and vacation homes.
Grace AI rolls out to Western hotels
PRISM is deploying its Grace AI general manager at scale. The tool now manages pricing, workflows, and guest communications at multiple hotels in Western markets.
It runs on a global reservation and distribution platform the company built over the past two years.
IPO scaled back, debt repayment prioritized
PRISM cut its planned IPO fresh issue nearly in half, from ₹6,650 crore to ₹3,350 crore. Of that amount, ₹2,512.5 crore will go toward repaying debt through a subsidiary.
The company dropped its pre-IPO placement plan. SEBI approved the offering in June, and PRISM now aims for a $7–8 billion valuation.
Backers like SoftBank, Lightspeed India, Peak XV Partners, and Microsoft have poured $3.5 billion into the company to date.
What this means
Lazyfounder analysis — our interpretation, not reported fact.
PRISM’s latest numbers show its tech investments are paying off in higher bookings and margins—but the headline profit still relies heavily on a one-time tax benefit, not just operational gains.
Key takeaways
- The 35% revenue growth outpaces most global hotel chains, highlighting PRISM’s tech-driven edge in distribution and pricing.
- North America, powered by G6 Hospitality, contributed nearly ₹14,000 crore in bookings for FY26, making it a critical growth market.
- Grace AI is expanding beyond trials, now handling pricing, workflows, and guest communications in Western hotels.
- The scaled-back IPO issue (₹3,350 crore) reduces valuation pressure but keeps the focus on debt repayment.
