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 and Beverage Revenue Growth
Food & Beverage revenue grew 5% on a high base (2-year CAGR 10%) driven by outlets and banqueting. The company’s innovative culinary offerings and strategic refresh of Food & Beverage outlets contributed to this growth.
