Hello everyone. Welcome to Yatra's fiscal fourth quarter and full year 2026 financial results call for the period ended March 31st, 2026. Today's call is hosted by Yatra's Co-Founder, Dhruv Shringi, Yatra's CEO, Siddharth Gupta, and Yatra's CFO, Anuj Sethi. The following discussion, including responses to your questions, reflect the management's views as of today, May 25th, 2026. The company does not take any obligation to update or revise the information. Before they begin their formal remarks, please be reminded that certain statements made on this call may constitute forward-looking statements, which are based on Yatra management's current expectations and beliefs and are subject to several risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. For a description of these risks, please refer to Yatra's filings with the SEC and their press release filed earlier this morning on the IR section of the Yatra website.

Operator

With that, let me turn the call over to Yatra's Co-Founder, Dhruv Shringi. Dhruv, please go ahead.

Dhruv Shringi

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Yatra's full year 2026 and Q4 2026 earnings call. Fiscal 2026 has been a landmark year for Yatra. Despite some very significant macro headwinds that impacted three out of the 12 months of the year, it is the most profitable year in the company's 20-year history. This strong performance is a testament to the resilience of our business model, our commitment to innovation, the balance in our revenue mix, the quality of our corporate franchise, and the dedication of our teams. I'm very proud to announce our FY 2026 results. Our revenue from operations grew 27% year-over-year to INR 10,074 million or approximately $107 million. While revenue less service cost, which is our gross margin, increased to INR 4,801 million, a growth of 22.6% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA grew to INR 564 million, or approximately $6 million.

Dhruv Shringi

A growth of 64% year-over-year, reflecting strong operating leverage. On the corporate customer acquisition front as well, we added during FY 2026, 163 new corporate customers with annual billable value of approximately INR 9,568 million, or about $102 million, up from 148 customers and INR 7,475 million, or $80 million, in FY 2025. As Siddharth will delve further in his remarks, you will see that this number has been increasing on a quarterly basis, underscoring the continued traction in our enterprise travel business and the strength of our go-to-market execution. Online penetration of corporate travel is still less than 25% in India in the managed business travel segment. As the market leader, we are best positioned to capitalize on this as the industry moves up the online penetration curve.

Dhruv Shringi

We have demonstrated over the years that we not only have the ability to acquire customers, but with a retention rate of almost 97%, have the ability to retain them for a very long lifetime value as well. In our assessment, the current macro environment driven by a conflict which has impacted energy prices and disrupted travel in the Middle East and more broadly, international travel, does not reflect a structural change in the underlying travel demand ecosystem. It is a short-term blip which the industry will tide over as soon as normalcy returns. Corporate travel demand in India continues to remain resilient, and we expect recovery momentum to strengthen meaningfully in the second half of the year, driven by revenge travel, just like we witnessed in the years following COVID.

Dhruv Shringi

That said, the escalating conflict significantly impacted our MICE and international corporate travel business, weighing on the overall Q4 results. Several Q4 MICE and international corporate group travel bookings were either canceled or deferred into FY 2027. Barring the impact of this, it was quite likely that we would have reported stronger results ahead of last year's performance. The current conflict and the balance of payments challenge has also heightened the government's focus on domestic tourism as a strategic pillar. The infrastructure build-out in rail and aviation, and even the domestic highway network bodes well for domestic tourism. Yatra, given its market-leading domestic hotel supply, we believe is extremely well-positioned to capitalize on this trend. We have enhanced our API infrastructure framework, and a migration onto the Google Cloud platform has significantly improved our ability to distribute our hotel content to a large network of domestic and international travelers.

Dhruv Shringi

This is a highly margin accretive business for Yatra and one that we expect to scale up further in the coming years. From a quarters perspective, despite the headwinds, we reported resilient performance in Q4, especially in our core Air and Hotel segments. Gross bookings grew 8% year-over-year. Air passenger volumes were up 9.6% year-over-year, roughly 2x the industry growth rate, reflecting continued market share gains. Our hotels business continued its strong momentum with room nights growing 36% in the quarter and gross bookings growing 9% despite the significant disruption in MICE. Total transactions increased 15.2% year-over-year, a strong indicator of platform activity and engagement.

Dhruv Shringi

Our corporate business added 55 new clients during the quarter with an annual billable potential of INR 2,709 million or approximately $29 million, which is higher than the 40 closures worth INR 2,234 million or approximately $24 million in Q3, demonstrating the strength of our sales engine even through a challenging environment. When there is a macro disruption outside our control, more importantly, the underlying demand from our corporate customers remains intact, and we expect a meaningful portion of the deferred business to return as conditions normalize. Structurally, the outlook for India's travel and corporate mobility sector remains compelling. India continues to be the fastest-growing major economy, with strong investment flows across manufacturing and the outsourcing-driven business travel demand.

Dhruv Shringi

Based on the strength of our corporate customer base, our industry-leading hotel supply, and our AI-enabled corporate travel technology, we remain confident of our medium-term growth CAGR of revenue less service costs of 20% and adjusted EBITDA of 30%. With that overview, let me hand you over to Siddharth to walk you through the details of our performance. Siddharth?

Siddharth Gupta

Thank you, Dhruv. Good morning, everyone. The larger headline is that Yatra delivered its strongest performance in FY 2026, despite a volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop. In FY 2026, we delivered RLSE, which is revenue less service cost or gross margin growth of about 22.6%, while adjusted EBITDA grew 64.2% year-over-year, reflecting a strong operating leverage as well as disciplined cost control. This is particularly notable given FY 2026 reflected only nine months of full operations, underscoring both the strength of execution during the period while maintaining financial discipline. Another achievement worth emphasizing is the balanced nature of this growth across segments and lines of businesses. Let me start by taking you through the segment performance. Across both Air and Hotels, Yatra cemented its competitive position.

Siddharth Gupta

The Air segment delivered a healthy TTV growth of 12% for the year to INR 61,874 million from INR 55,273 million, while maintaining margin discipline. With passenger growth outpacing industry levels throughout the quarter and the full year, while maintaining margin throughout the year. A point to highlight is our Air margins have steadily improved from approximately 2.7% in financial year 2024 to nearly 4% in financial year 2026, reflecting a structural improvement in the quality of our business mix. We remain one of the very few players in this space to consistently expand Air margins despite intense competitive pressure across the sector. The Hotels and Packages business also gained strong momentum, led by strong TTV growth of 27%.

Siddharth Gupta

With the government's continued push towards domestic tourism and infrastructure-led travel growth, our extensive hotel supply footprint across India positions us well to capture demand across both major metropolitan markets and emerging Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Moving now to across lines of businesses. During financial year 2026, Yatra added 163 new corporate customers with an annual billable value of approximately INR 9,568 million, which would be approximately $102 million, up from 148 customers and INR 7,475 million, which was close to INR 80 million in financial year 2025. This underscores the continued traction in our enterprise travel business and the strength of our go-to-market execution. It is important to note that corporate wins typically take three to six months to go live and ramp-up to their full trading potential. This provides strong visibility into incremental revenue contribution over the coming year.

Siddharth Gupta

Beyond our large enterprise wins, we continue to see significant white spaces in India's mid-market corporate travel segment, which remains substantially under-penetrated online. To capture this opportunity, we invested in building a dedicated mid-market sales team during Q3, with early contributions already visible in Q4. Given the scale of the untapped market, we believe this segment can become a meaningful incremental growth driver for our corporate business over the medium term. Coupled with the fact that our corporate business continues to demonstrate exceptional stickiness with customer retentions consistently above 97%, this positions us well for continued strong performance in our corporate segment. Our consumer business performed well through the year as well, demonstrating the inherent resilience of domestic consumer spending. The diversified nature of our operations and multiple revenue levers enabled us to navigate periods of disruption while continuing to deliver resilient full-year performance.

Siddharth Gupta

During FY 2026, Yatra benefited from incremental demand from newly signed affiliates and partnerships, helping us gain both Air and Hotel market share while further improving margins. This highlights the strong scalability of our API-led distribution model, which has emerged as an important growth driver. Combined with our extensive domestic hotel supply network, it positions us to accelerate growth in the periods ahead. We are seeing strong traction in API-led distribution, with travel agents, affiliates, and B2B partners increasingly sourcing hotel inventory through the Yatra platform. This allows us to scale transaction volumes efficiently while preserving margin discipline. We expect this trend to continue, and any near-term softness in consumer demand during the first half of the year should be mitigated as the year progresses.

Siddharth Gupta

Yatra delivered a resilient performance in Q4, with gross bookings growing 8% year-on-year, air passenger volumes increasing 9.6% year-on-year, approximately double the industry growth rate, while total transactions rose 15.2% year-on-year. The quarter was impacted by the conflict-related disruption, which slightly depressed air volumes and had a more pronounced impact on several MICE and international corporate group travel bookings, a number of which were either canceled or deferred into FY 2027. While the MICE category experienced temporary disruption during the quarter, we are seeing instances where customer preference is shifting from international to domestic programs, partially offsetting the impact. Importantly, we are already seeing signs of recovery, with Q1 run rates currently trending approximately 20% above the Q4 levels. We continue to view MICE as a structurally attractive category, given its close linkage to corporate reward, engagement, and incentive programs.

Siddharth Gupta

Over the years, we have built strong execution capabilities and a broad partner network across domestic and international markets, creating a meaningful competitive advantage. Our gross margin, defined as revenue less service cost, increased 1% year-on-year to INR 1,101 million or approximately $12 million. Adjusted EBITDA declined 49% year-on-year to INR 46 million or approximately $0.5 million. Our corporate business added 55 new clients during the quarter with an annual billable potential of INR 2,790 million worth INR 2,234 million or approximately $24 million in Q3. This demonstrates the continued strength of our sales engine even in a challenging operating environment. Overall, while the quarter was impacted by geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the West Asia conflict, we remain optimistic about our trajectory, supported by our continued focus on scaling the corporate travel business.

Siddharth Gupta

The steady addition of new enterprise clients improving online adoption and the growing contribution of our hotel business within the corporate segment positions us well to drive operating leverage and deliver gradual margin expansion over medium term. Looking ahead, AI and automation remain a core strategic focus area for Yatra. We continue to see encouraging adoption of our AI-powered servicing capabilities across both consumer and corporate channels. Our continued investments in automation and successful deployment across customer touchpoint reinforce both operational scalability and long-term profitability. Our continued collaboration with Google further strengthens our technology ecosystem and supports product innovation across customer acquisition and servicing. If past cycles are any indication, periods of market disruption are often followed by a meaningful release of pent-up consumer demand. Accordingly, we expect the second half of financial year 2027 to be materially stronger than the first half.

Siddharth Gupta

While macro challenges are likely to persist in the first half of the year, we remain optimistic about financial year 2027, backed by structural growth in India's travel and corporate mobility markets and Yatra's continued investment in AI technology, customer acquisition, hotel supply, and its B2B platform. As Dhruv mentioned earlier, we remain confident of our medium-term growth CAGR of 20% RLSE growth and 30% adjusted EBITDA growth. With that, let me hand over to our CFO, Anuj Sethi, to walk you through the detailed financial performance. Thank you. Anuj.

Anuj Sethi

Thank you, Siddharth. Good morning, everyone. For the fourth quarter of the financial year 2026, on a consolidated basis, our revenue from operations decreased 14% year-on-year to INR 1,890 million or approximately $20 million. Our gross margin, defined as revenue less service cost, rose 1% year-on-year to INR 1,101 million or approximately $12 million. EBITDA loss increased year-on-year to INR 102 million or approximately $1 million. For the full year ended financial year 2026, on a consolidated basis, our revenue from operations grew 27% year-on-year to INR 10,074 million or approximately $107 million. Our gross margin rose 22.6% year-on-year to INR 4,801 million. Adjusted EBITDA of INR 564 million or approximately $6 million, representing a year-over-year growth of 64%, while our EBITDA improved to INR 266 million or approximately $3 million, a year-on-year growth of 31%.

Anuj Sethi

In terms of segmental performance, our Air ticketing passenger volume increased 2% year-on-year to 5,395,000 and our gross air bookings grew 12% year-on-year to INR 61,874 million or approximately $659 million. Here, gross margin rose 30% from year-on-year to INR 2,449 million or approximately $26 million, with margins improving from 3.4%-3.96%. Under Hotels and Packages segment, hotel room nights grew 16% year-on-year to 193,600. Gross bookings increased 27% year-on-year to INR 1,658 million or approximately $177 million.

On the liquidity front, cash and cash equivalent and term deposits stood at INR 2,512 million or approximately $26.7 million as of 31st March 2026.

Siddharth Gupta

Reiterating structurally the outlook for India's travel and corporate mobility market remains compelling. India continues to be the fastest-growing major economy with strong investment flows across manufacturing and GCCs driving business travel demand. Based on the sense of our corporate customer base, our industry-leading hotel supply, and our AI-enhanced corporate travel technology, we remain confident of our midterm growth in CAGR of RLSE 20% and adjusted EBITDA of maybe 30%. On that positive note, I would like to thank you all for joining the call. I hope we were able to address all the queries that you might have.

Yatra Online, Inc. Announces Results for the Three Months and Year Ended March 31, 2026

Business Wire

GURUGRAM, India & NEW YORK, May 23, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yatra Online, Inc. (NASDAQ: YTRA) (the "Company"), India’s leading corporate travel services provider and one of India’s leading online travel companies, today announced its unaudited financial and operating results for the three months and year ended March 31, 2026. "I am pleased to report that the fourth quarter marked a period of robust financial and operational performance, enabling us to meet our revised full-year growth guidance. This year’s performance can be described as resilient, given the multiple severe disruptions that created a turbulent environment for India’s aviation sector. Disruptions in domestic aviation, coupled with geopolitical developments in the Middle East, significantly impacted the industry. It is important to note that air traffic to and through the region constitutes a substantial proportion of India’s outbound air capacity. Our performance during the quarter remained well balanced across business travel demand, affiliate-sourced business, and the consumer segment. While air travel volumes were slightly depressed, elevated average air ticket prices helped key business lines navigate the challenging environment. The MICE (Corporate Group Travel) segment faced significant headwinds, as many corporates chose to defer or cancel group travel plans to and through the region due to schedule uncertainty and safety concerns arising from the ongoing conflict. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we reported revenue of INR 1,890.2 million (USD 20.1 million), representing a decline year-over-year of 13.7%. This is due to a decline in the Hotels and Packages business which was severely impacted due to disruption in the Middle East impacting international aviation routes. Our Corporate Travel segment continues to serve as a key growth pillar. During the fourth quarter, we onboarded 55 new corporate clients, expanding our annual billing potential by INR 2,709 million (USD 28.9 million). While the fourth quarter is typically strong for corporate travel due to financial year-end activity, weaker performance in the MICE (Corporate Group Travel) segment impacted the overall growth of this line of business. At the same time, our consumer and affiliate channels benefited from the strength of India’s domestic consumption story and delivered robust growth. We remained focused on driving...

Yatra Online, Inc. Q4 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Moby

Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Management attributed the record annual profitability to a resilient business model and strong operating leverage, despite geopolitical conflicts impacting three months of the fiscal year. The West Asia conflict significantly disrupted the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) and international corporate segments, leading to widespread cancellations and deferrals in Q4. Air margins improved structurally from 2.7% in FY24 to nearly 4% in FY26, driven by a higher quality business mix and disciplined yield management despite intense sector competition. The company is pivoting to capitalize on a government-led focus on domestic tourism, leveraging its extensive hotel supply and a recent migration to Google Cloud to improve content distribution. Corporate travel remains a core growth pillar, with management highlighting a 97% retention rate and significant 'white space' in the under-penetrated mid-market segment. Management views the current international travel slowdown as a 'short-term blip' rather than a structural change, expecting a recovery driven by 'revenge travel' dynamics similar to the post-COVID period. Management maintains a medium-term growth CAGR target of 20% for revenue less service costs and 30% for adjusted EBITDA. The second half of FY27 is expected to be materially stronger than the first half, assuming a release of pent-up demand as geopolitical conditions normalize. A dedicated mid-market sales team established in Q3 is expected to become a meaningful incremental growth driver as new corporate wins typically take 3 to 6 months to fully ramp up. Future scalability will rely heavily on API-led distribution, allowing travel agents and B2B partners to source Yatra’s hotel inventory more efficiently. Ongoing investments in AI and automation are intended to enhance customer servicing capabilities and support long-term operational profitability. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Geopolitical conflict in the Middle East remains a primary headwind, impacting energy prices and disrupting international corporate group travel. Q4 results were weighed down by the deferral of high-margin MICE business into FY27, thou...

GuruFocus.com

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Release Date: February 12, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Yatra Online Inc (NASDAQ:YTRA) experienced a 22% year-on-year increase in gross bookings for air ticketing, significantly outperforming the industry growth of about 1%. The company saw a 20% year-on-year growth in the hotels and packages segment, with hotel room nights growing by 22%. Yatra Online Inc (NASDAQ:YTRA) onboarded 40 new corporate clients, adding an annual billing potential of INR 2.2 billion. The company is benefiting from a structural upcycle in outbound and long-haul travel, reinforcing its strong corporate and international travel franchises. Yatra Online Inc (NASDAQ:YTRA) is leveraging AI-driven platforms for end-to-end automation and expense management, enhancing compliance and cost savings for corporate clients. The company faced operational challenges due to airline disruptions, particularly affecting the MICE and corporate events sub-segment. There was a modest one-time impact on the quarter due to flight disruptions, with some bookings deferred to future quarters. Gross rates in the hotels and packages segment moderated slightly from 12.2% to 11.7% year on year due to a change in business mix. The disruption in the airline sector led to incremental working capital deployment as advances had already been paid to vendors for MICE groups. Revenue growth deceleration in the quarter was attributed to seasonal factors and flight disruptions, not structural changes. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with YTRA. Is YTRA fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. Q: The revenue growth deceleration in the quarter, is any of that structural, or is it just due to macro challenges? A: (Unidentified_2) The deceleration is largely seasonal. Quarter 3 is typically low for business travel due to holidays like Christmas, New Year's, and Diwali. This year, it was compounded by flight disruptions in December. It's not a structural shift, just a one-off disruption. Q: Are macro challenges like tariffs impacting the MICE business? A: (Unidentified_2) We haven't seen any impact from tariffs. In fact, new trade deals between India, the EU, and the US are expected to boost business travel.

Shringi said the third quarter is typically a strong period for leisure travel in India, and management saw “healthy demand” overall. However, the company highlighted short-term headwinds in domestic travel during December, including airline operational challenges that led to a spike in cancellations. Management said domestic travel recovered in the second half of December and that improving patterns continued into January. → Once Upon A Farm: Buy the $1B Growth Story? At the same time, Shringi emphasized that international travel stayed strong with healthy year-over-year and sequential growth, arguing that outbound and long-haul travel is in a “structural upcycle” that benefits organized travel platforms, particularly those with corporate and international travel franchises. Shringi also pointed to India’s recent Union Budget as a positive signal for the travel and tourism sector, describing it as a shift toward building a more structural and sustainable...

Yatra Online, Inc. Q3 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Moby

Performance was impacted by operational challenges in the domestic airline sector, specifically IndiGo flight disruptions and weather-related cancellations in December. Management observed a structural upcycle in international and outbound travel, which remained resilient despite domestic headwinds and benefited from a strong corporate franchise. The B2C segment has successfully returned to profitable growth by tapping into affiliate partnerships and executing prudent discounting strategies. Strategic positioning is shifting toward end-to-end automation, utilizing AI-driven platforms for travel procurement, expense management, and real-time policy compliance. The recent Indian Union Budget is viewed as a long-term tailwind due to the rationalization of tax on overseas tour packages and increased infrastructure investment. Corporate travel momentum remains strong, with the company onboarding 40 new clients this quarter representing an annual billing potential of INR 2.2 billion. Management expects a portion of the deferred MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) revenue to roll over into Q4 and Q1 of the next fiscal year. The company plans to further expand margins in the B2C segment through upcoming organic demand generation projects. Strategic focus will intensify on the expense management solution, which is viewed as both a 'door opener' for new accounts and a significant upsell opportunity for the existing 1,300+ corporate clients. Go-to-market strategy is being restructured into three pillars: elite sales for large enterprises, digital/inside sales for SMEs, and key account management for upselling. Future growth is predicated on increasing online penetration in corporate travel, which currently stands at approximately 23%. Flight disruptions in early December led to incremental working capital deployment due to advances already paid to vendors for deferred MICE groups. The company appointed Siddhartha Gupta as the new CEO, bringing leadership experience from B2B SaaS firms including SAP and HP. A modest one-time impact on the quarter's results was attributed specifically to the IndiGo Airlines schedule disruption in India. MICE and Corporate Events subsegments saw temporary deferments, though management notes the business returned to its normal track by January. Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvi...

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Yatra's Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results Call period ended December 31, 2025. Today's call is hosted by Yatra's Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, Dhruv Shringi; and CEO, Siddhartha Gupta. The following discussion, including responses to your questions, reflects management's views as of today, February 12, 2026. The company does not take any obligation to update or revise the information. Before they begin their formal remarks, please be reminded that certain statements made on this call may constitute forward-looking statements, which are based on Yatra management's current expectations and beliefs and are subject to several risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results -- for a description of these risks, please refer to Yatra's filings with the SEC and the press release filed earlier this morning on the IR section of Yatra website. With that, let me turn the call over to Yatra's Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, Dhruv Shringi. Dhruv, please go ahead.

Dhruv Shringi

Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us on [Technical Difficulty] third quarter and 9 months ended fiscal year 2026 earnings. Let me start by briefing you first on the events that happened during the quarter, and how it has impacted the industry, and then our CEO, Siddhartha Gupta, will brief you on the operational performance and the financial performance in greater detail. The third quarter, which is typically a strong period for leisure travel in India, witnessed healthy demand across [Technical Difficulty] limitations which led to operational challenges for the airlines and a spike in cancellations across the entire country. Market data indicates that domestic [Technical Difficulty] and recovered in the second half of the month, and we've seen those factors continue to rise in the month of January and thereon. But the key positive during the period was the divergence between domestic and international travel trends. While domestic travel experienced short-term headwinds in December, international travel remained strong with healthy year-on-year and sequential growth. This reinforces that outbound and long-haul travel is in a structural up cycle, benefiting organized travel platforms like Yatra with strong corporate and international travel franchises. Also, the recent union budget sends a clear message and positive signal about the government's long-term commitment to the travel and tourism sector. By positioning tourism as a strategic growth engine linked to the employment generation, foreign exchange earnings, and regional development, the policy framework shifts from episodic support to building a more structural and sustainable ecosystem for travel and hospitality in the country. Key measures such as rationalization of tax collection at source on overseas tour packages to a uniform 2% rate, lower upfront cost improved outbound segment. In addition, increased emphasis on domestic connectivity through infrastructure investments, including high-speed rail corridors, waterways and regional access, among the initiatives to enhance hospitality capabilities through a National Institute of Hospitality and large-scale skilling programs, expand the talent pipeline for the tourism sector. There is a growing demand for Indian organizations to help digitize travel procurement while using AI-driven platforms that offer end-to-end automation, self-booking tools and integrated expense management, prioritizing compliance and cost savings. AI and predictive analytics platforms make travel procurement by forecasting demand, optimizing costs, enforcing policies and ensuring risks are attended in real time. AI-enabled self-booking tools can perform real-time policy compliance checks, flag risks like disruption or itinerary analysis and personalize itineraries with safety insights. The generative AI shifts from reactive auditing to predictive spend, cutting administrative friction and enabling productivity boosts in procurement. Yatra through its corporate self-booking platform, supported by AI bot and its richer expense management solution is taking the lead in driving this shift in industry dynamics. Moving on more specifically to our business for the quarter. Our B2C business, as was predicted earlier by us, [Technical Difficulty] is now still growing profitably. Additionally, our corporate and MICE business [Technical Difficulty] was well on track to deliver our strongest third quarter yet. With the exception of the recent inflation [Technical Difficulty] about our operational performance in the quarter. We remain richly supported by our continued focus on scaling the Corporate Travel business. The steady growth in corporate bookings, along with the increasing contribution from higher-margin hotels and MICE segments, positions us well for sustained margin expansion and improved profitability over the long term. With this, let me now introduce you to Mr. Siddhartha Gupta, who recently joined us as our new CEO. Siddhartha brings with him a wealth of experience across the B2B SaaS industry, and in his last role, was the President of Mercer Consulting in India and was also heading their SaaS-based talent acquisition business globally. Prior to this, Siddhartha has also held leadership roles in large tech and SaaS companies like SAP and HP. With that, let me hand you over to Siddhartha. Sid, over to you.

Siddhartha Gupta

Thank you so much, Dhruv. Operator, I hope I am loud and clear on the line. Thank you so much, Dhruv, for giving a preamble on our quarter performance and the industry trends. A very good morning to everyone on the call. Adding to Dhruv's comments, despite an industry-wide disruption in the airline sector during the quarter, Yatra continued to deliver in its Air Ticketing business, supported by seasonally strong B2C travel demand. Gross bookings in the Air Ticketing increased 22% year-on-year, supported by 14% growth in air passenger, which far exceeds the industry growth of about 1%. Take rates also improved from 6.2% to 7.1% on account of the quarter being more B2C focused. In the Hotels and Packages segment, overall performance during the quarter remained healthy. However, we did see some temporary impact in the MICE and the Corporate Events subsegment, with a few bookings getting deferred due to flight disruptions. Just to remind listeners, it was the disruption in the IndiGo Airlines schedule in India. This resulted in a modest onetime impact on the quarter, part of which we expect to roll over in quarter 4, supported by the continued strength in underlying Corporate Travel demand. Gross bookings in the segment grew 20% year-on-year, excluding the impact of deferment of the MICE business. Hotels would have grown over 30% on a stand-alone basis, supported by strong growth in our corporate business and in our affiliate business. While gross take rates moderately -- moderated slightly from 12.2% to 11.7% year-on-year on account of change in business mix, gross margins improved further from 9.7% to 10.2% year-on-year, reflecting prudent discounting in B2C and better margin realization from suppliers for corporate hotels. Our B2B to B2C mix was approximately 60-40 for the quarter versus the 9-month average of 65-35 in favor of B2B. Our Corporate Travel business continues its strong momentum. We onboarded 40 new corporate clients in this quarter, collectively adding an annual billing potential of INR 2.2 billion. As mentioned earlier, the disruption happened during the highly productive first 2 weeks of December, when Corporate Travel usually peaks before holidays. We saw deferment of MICE travel into Q4 and subsequently, few of the groups moved to Q1 of the next financial year as a direct result of uncertainty in the travel during that period. This disruption not only adversely impacted our operating performance, but also led to incremental working capital deployment where advances had already been paid to vendors for MICE Groups. These impacts were largely limited to the month of December, and the business is back on track. In the Corporate business, there's more to cheer. The early response to our expense management solution has been very, very encouraging, and we have onboarded 8 customers now on our expense management platform. Early traction proves that Yatra understands the pulse of what our corporate customers need. This solution has not only become a door opener to get new accounts, but also gives us a huge upsell potential in our existing accounts. A few thoughts on what you can expect from Yatra in quarters ahead. Our consumer-focused line of business has returned to growth path while improving margins. This was a result of sharp execution, coupled with successfully tapping into partnerships and affiliates for demand generation. In the near future, you should hear more on organic demand generation projects making impact, helping us further improve margins in this line of business. Our corporate value proposition still has a huge headroom for growth. Online penetration is around 23%, and we have laid a strong foundation for chasing this potential. We have sharpened our go-to-market by establishing separate teams to chase large and small and medium enterprises. Demand generation is amplified by a new inside sales team now, which has started augmenting the efforts of the team on ground. Early signals are very promising. Beyond new customer acquisition, our farming team have won multiyear renewals from some of our largest customers this quarter, proving that corporates want trusted partners who can deliver value to them. Needless to say that our success is closely tied to the speed at which we can deliver tech innovation. Our early investments in adding talent to our product and tech team have started showing results. You can expect us to further add gap between us and what's available in the market. Hope that gives you a flavor of where we're headed. At this moment, I would have paused and handed over to Anuj Sethi, who is our CFO, to brief you on the financial performance for the quarter under review. He has got caught up in a medical emergency. Hence, I'll take you through the financial performance as well, and then me and Dhruv will take the questions together. On the financial performance, for the third quarter of financial year '26, on a consolidated basis, our revenue from operations grew 10% year-on-year to INR 2,577 million or approximately $29 million, driven by steady demand across our key segments with robust growth from air ticketing business. In terms of segmental performance, our Air Ticketing passenger volume grew 13% year-on-year to 1,491,000. However, gross bookings grew 22% year-on-year to INR 16,931 million or $188 million. And Air adjusted margins rose 40% year-on-year to INR 1,195 million, or $13 million with adjusted margin percentage improving from 6.2% to 7.1%. Under Hotels and Packages segment, hotel room nights grew by 22% year-on-year to 508,000. Gross bookings increased 20% year-on-year to INR 4,306 million or close to $47 million, with adjusted margins expanded 15% year-on-year to INR 502 million or $6 million. On the liquidity front, cash and cash equivalent and term deposits stood at INR 2,042 million or $23 million as of 31st December 2025. Gross debt has marginally increased from INR 546 million as of 31st March 2025 to INR 583 million or $6 million as of 31st December 2025. With this, I would like to hand back to the moderator and open up for question-and-answer session.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] First question comes from Scott Buck with H.C. Wainwright.

Scott Buck

First, I'm curious, the revenue growth deceleration in the quarter, is any of that structural? Or you're viewing that all as just kind of the ebbs and flow of managing some of the macro challenges that are out there?

Dhruv Shringi

Scott, this is largely seasonal in nature. Quarter 3, if you would recall, is one of the lowest quarters for business travel, given the holidays that we have for Christmas, New Year and for Diwali, Dussehra, which both happen in this quarter. So effectively, you lose 1 month out of the 3 in holidays. And then it got compounded this year with the flight disruptions that happened during the first 2 weeks of December. So it's not a structural shift. It's just a one-off, given the disruption that happened in the industry.

Scott Buck

Okay. That's fair. Second, I just want to ask about the MICE business. Are you seeing some of the macro challenges out there, whether it's tariffs or anything else, having an impact on that business? I know there were some headwinds in the quarter.

Dhruv Shringi

No, we haven't really seen any impact of that, especially things like tariff and all. We do, in fact, expect that given that there is a new trade deal which is in place between India and the EU and India and the U.S., we will see business travel scale up even further when it comes to travel between both Europe and the U.S. But we're not really seeing any headwinds per se on account of these. Sid, if you want to add something extra on that?

Siddhartha Gupta

Yes. So this MICE as a segment has grown and has tremendous potential for us to grow into. This was a very fragmented market about 3 to 4 years back. And now over the last 2 years, Yatra has become one of the top 3 players operating in this space in India. And Indian economy is one of the fastest-growing economies. So there are multiple industries where corporates are traveling, not only outside India, but within India as well. And hence, there is a huge headroom for growth. What we've seen is that this entire segment is getting more formalized. So instead of very small players operating these events for corporates, now the corporates prefer doing business with large vendors like ourselves. So I think there's a huge potential, and we don't see any disruption in this space at all.

Scott Buck

Great. That's helpful color. And then last one for me, guys. You continue to do a really nice job adding new corporate partners on the travel side. I'm curious how many of those kind of obvious or low-hanging fruit opportunities are still out there? And at some point, do you need to change or pivot the way you're pitching some of these customers to continue to bring on that Corporate Travel business?

Dhruv Shringi

I think at this time, we have got a lot of headroom in this. Our initial mapping had suggested close to about 13,000 organizations that we could target as part of this. We are still just in excess of about 1,000. So I think there is a lot of headroom for growth for us in this sector. I think Siddhartha coming on board will also sharpen our focus on how we go to market. And maybe Siddhartha can elaborate a bit more around how he's gone ahead in the short period of time in augmenting the sales team and putting in some new things in place, which will help us drive further growth. Siddhartha?

Siddhartha Gupta

Yes. So to add, I concur with Dhruv completely. We have barely scratched the surface. There is a huge headroom for growth because the offline Corporate Travel still is the majority market and the value proposition of Yatra from providing an online Corporate Travel platform, which caters for all uniqueness of every corporate customer has a huge headroom for growth. To give you a parallel, in my days at SAP or Hewlett-Packard, corporate India itself has more than 30,000 companies, which are potential customers to Yatra. We have just about crossed 1,300 right now. So there's a huge headroom for growth for us. From a go-to-market standpoint, we have commenced a very ambitious and aggressive go-to-market sharpening exercise at Yatra. We have divided our go-to-market into 3 pillars. One is -- so we've separated these teams out. One is the elite sales team, which looks at only large enterprises and tries to get us more inroads into large corporates where travel spends are very high. Then we've got a separate team, which is looking at small and medium enterprises, which operates through digitally creating demand and then through an inside sales, landing it into our kitty. And the third bit is we are already one of the larger players in India from a large enterprise automation. So we have a very large existing account base. So we have a team called key account managers, and it's headed by a very senior leader here in India. And the mandate there is to upsell and grow our existing relationships where we are introducing newer solutions like expense management and other solutions and especially international hotels and travel so that we are able to upsell into our existing customer set as well. So overall, we are sharpening the go-to-market, running a very strong cadence on a weekly basis to ensure that spikes remain healthy and conversions remain healthy as well. So you should see momentum pick up from here, and we expect our strategy of leaning more towards B2E to grow Yatra being very successfully executed over the next 3 to 4 quarters.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] We have no further questions, so I'll hand back to the management team for any final remarks.

Dhruv Shringi

Thank you, operator.

Siddhartha Gupta

Dhruv, would you like to....

Dhruv Shringi

And thank you, everyone, who joined the call today. And as always, we remain committed to driving shareholder value and being able to address any questions that you might have. Siddhartha and I are always available. Please feel free to reach out to us through our IR firm, ICR, and they can direct you to us. We look forward to engaging with you and continuing to deliver on the strong results that we have done for the last few quarters. Thank you for your time today.

Siddhartha Gupta

Thank you so much, everyone.

Operator

Ladies and gentlemen, today's call is now concluded. We'd like to thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect your lines.
