Action:ReiteratedDate:02/04/26
The score is held down primarily by balance-sheet deterioration (negative equity and high debt) and weak technicals (price far below major moving averages with bearish MACD). Offsetting factors include improved profitability/cash flow and a constructive earnings call highlighting strong operating momentum, AI/product progress, and ongoing buybacks, but valuation remains stretched with a very high P/E.
Positive Factors
High gross margins & improved profitability
High gross margin (~74%) and positive operating/net margins reflect MakeMyTrip's asset-light marketplace economics and improved unit economics. Sustained margins support durable cash generation, funding AI/product investment, buybacks and potential debt reduction over time.
Diversified product mix and sustained volume growth
Strong hotel, bus and ancillary growth demonstrates a diversified revenue base that reduces reliance on volatile air ticketing. A larger share of higher-margin lodging and ancillaries smooths cyclicality, improves margin sustainability and strengthens long-term revenue resilience.
Scalable AI/product capability (Myra)
Myra's scale and quality indicate durable operational benefits: lower service costs, higher conversion and earlier trip planning engagement in tier‑2+ cities. Persistent AI adoption can reduce CAC, raise lifetime value and reinforce product differentiation over multiple quarters.
Negative Factors
Deteriorated balance sheet and high leverage
Negative equity and elevated debt materially weaken financial flexibility. Higher leverage increases refinancing and covenant risks, may limit the firm's ability to invest or respond to shocks, and could force prioritization of debt service over strategic growth or buybacks in coming quarters.
Translation & non‑cash financing charges
Large non‑cash convertible bond accretion and FX translation losses create volatility between adjusted and reported earnings. Persisting accounting/translation charges can obscure cash profitability, complicate debt metrics and constrain long-term capital allocation decisions.
GST rationalization dragging reported GBV
The GST rate change depresses reported GBV despite strong underlying volume growth, compressing top-line growth metrics. This policy-driven distortion will hinder revenue comparability, investor visibility and may affect incentive/take-rate economics over the next several quarters.

Makemytrip Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionMakeMyTrip Limited, an online travel company, sells travel products and solutions in India, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, Peru, Colombia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The company operates through three segments: Air Ticketing, Hotels and Packages, and Bus Ticketing. Its services and products include air tickets; hotels; packages; rail tickets; bus tickets; and car hire, as well as ancillary travel requirements, such as visa processing and facilitating access to travel insurance. The company allows travelers to research, plan, book, and purchase travel services and products through its websites, such as makemytrip.com, goibibo.com, redbus.in, makemytrip.com.sg, and makemytrip.ae; and other technology-enhanced distribution channels, such as call centers, travel stores, and travel agents' network, as well as mobile service platform. As of March 31, 2022, it had approximately 125 franchisee-owned travel stores. The company serves leisure and corporate travelers. MakeMyTrip Limited was incorporated in 2000 and is based in Gurugram, India.
How the Company Makes MoneyMMYT primarily generates revenue by acting as an intermediary/marketplace for travel suppliers and earning consideration when customers book travel through its platforms. Key revenue streams typically include: (1) Commissions and/or merchant margins from hotel and accommodation bookings, where the company earns a take-rate based on the booking value (in agency models via supplier commissions and in merchant models via the spread between the rate paid to the supplier and the price charged to the customer). (2) Air ticketing revenues, which can include supplier incentives/commissions (where applicable), service or convenience fees charged to travelers, and other booking-related fees; airline ticketing often operates at lower margin than lodging but drives high transaction volume and cross-sell. (3) Package holidays and ancillary travel products (such as ground transport bookings and add-ons), where revenue can come from packaged pricing margins, commissions, and service fees. (4) Advertising and promotional income from travel suppliers and related partners who pay for visibility, placements, or performance marketing on MMYT’s properties. (5) Corporate/enterprise travel management services (where offered), which generally earn management fees, transaction fees, and supplier incentives tied to business travel bookings. Significant factors influencing earnings include booking volumes (gross bookings), the mix shift toward higher-margin lodging and holidays, supplier relationships with airlines/hotels/aggregators, marketing efficiency (customer acquisition costs), and the ability to cross-sell ancillaries (insurance, seat selection, transfers, etc.).

Makemytrip Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Jan 21, 2026
(Q3-2026)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 20, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call was largely positive: strong volume growth across hotels, buses and ancillaries, notable AI/product momentum (Myra scaling and GenAI features), margin and profitability milestones (first $50M+ adjusted operating profit) and active capital returns. The main negatives were a significant but transient December domestic air supply disruption (new pilot FDTL rules and capacity cuts) which impacted peak bookings and created near‑term uncertainty, plus non‑cash financing and FX headwinds and an optical GBV moderation from GST changes. Management conveyed that the disruption is temporary and that many business levers (diversified transport mix, product innovations, corporate traction and buybacks) are mitigating factors.
Q3-2026 Updates
Positive Updates
Strong Quarterly Volume and Segments Recovery
Overall strong performance in Q3 with October–November demand recovery; accommodation volume growth of 20.3% year‑on‑year and standard hotels up 20.6% YoY; hotel room nights in non‑premium segment grew over 23% YoY.
Air Ticketing Margins and Market Share Gains
Air ticketing adjusted margin of $207.9 million, up 20.4% YoY in constant currency; delivered 2.2% YoY growth in domestic air vs industry 0.9% and slight flown‑basis market share gain to just over 31% during the quarter.
Profitability Milestone
First quarter with adjusted operating profit above $50 million (reported $50.7 million); adjusted net profit of $51.4 million and adjusted diluted EPS grew ~33% YoY.
Large Growth in Bus and Other Segments
Bus ticketing consistent margin of $42.4 million with >26.1% YoY growth in constant currency; 'other' (ancillaries) adjusted margin $27.5 million, up 45.5% YoY in constant currency.
AI/Product Innovation (Myra and GenAI)
Myra scaled to >50,000 conversations/day with ~72% 'good' conversations and ~15–24% of interactions in early trip planning; 45%+ Myra users from tier‑two cities and beyond; AI chat/voice resolving ~50% of customer queries autonomously; GenAI interventions (beachfront tags, women‑specific safety scores) rolled out.
Expanded Product Offerings and Supply Footprint
Launched tours & activities with 200,000+ bookable activities across 1,100 cities in 130 countries; platform now lists 97,000+ accommodation options across 2,050+ cities and sold properties in 1,950+ cities during the quarter.
Homestay and Holiday Package Traction
Homestay business sold 27,600+ unique properties across 1,050+ cities and now contributes early double digits to overall hotel volume; operated chartered flight packages (e.g., Phu Quoc), unlocking new outbound destinations.
Corporate Travel and Integration Wins
MyBiz active corporate customers >77,500 (vs 64,000 LY); Quest2Travel active customers 539 (vs 493 LY); integration with Happay complete, creating a combined travel & expense management solution.
Capital Returns and Strong Cash Position
Buyback program utilization of ~$46.1 million this quarter (550,000 shares repurchased for ~$41.5M; 2030 notes repurchased ~$4.6M); ended the quarter with cash equivalents >$100 million; earlier increased buyback size to $200M.
Negative Updates
December Flight Disruption from New Pilot FDTL Rules
New, stricter flight duty time limitation rules caused a December decline in daily departures of ~‑5% YoY (vs expected +5%); disruption materially impacted peak season bookings and bookings in early December; complete supply recovery likely pushed into next fiscal year.
Airline Capacity Reductions and Uncertainty
IndiGo asked to cut ~10% capacity (market impact noted); overall domestic supply weakness created uncertainty for the near term with only modest positive daily departure growth (projected low single digits) expected in the near quarter.
Gross Booking Value (GBV) Distortion from GST Change
GST rationalization (12%→5% for rooms under ₹7,500) reduced the tax component and caused GBV growth to be lower than volume growth (GBV growth ~15.8–15.9% vs volume growth ~20.3%); creates an optical divergence between strong volume and moderated GBV/revenue growth.
Translation and Financing Costs
Non‑cash interest cost on zero‑coupon convertible bonds of $28.3 million for the quarter and translation‑related foreign currency losses of ~$5.3 million (rupee depreciation) reduced reported profitability (reported net profit $7.3M vs adjusted $51.4M).
Only Modest Margin Improvement
Adjusted operating margin improved only slightly from 1.76% to 1.82% of GBV; management noted margin expansion constrained by current mix and continued reinvestment in growth (fixed costs are a small portion of expenses so operating leverage is limited).
Elevated Marketing & Sales Promotion Spend
Marketing & sales promotion at 5.6% of GBV during the quarter (in line with seasonality and mix) — higher than historical sub‑5% levels and tied to mix shift toward segments with higher customer acquisition costs.
Company Guidance
The company guided that after a strong Q3 leisure season (domestic daily departures +25% YoY in Oct–Nov but -5% YoY in December due to new pilot FDTL rules), supply recovery is likely to be pushed into the next fiscal year with a return to flat-to +1–2% YoY daily departures expected in the JFM quarter; they also said the GST rationalization will create an optical ~5 percentage-point drag on hotel GBV growth for the next four quarters even as hotel volume growth remains robust (hotel volumes +20.3% YoY, standard hotels +20.6%, non‑premium room nights +23%+, homestays 27,600+ properties sold across 1,050+ cities). Key operating metrics and priorities include scaling AI (Myra >50,000 conversations/day, 72% “good” conversations, ~15% early‑planning interactions, 45% of users from tier‑2+ cities, voice interactions 50% higher in non‑metros, AI resolving ~50% of queries), expanding supply (97,000+ accommodations across 2,050+ cities; bus private inventory >45,000 daily schedules vs 40,000 LY), and financial targets such as air ticketing adjusted margin $207.9M (+20.4% CC), bus margin $42.4M (+26.1% CC), other margin $27.5M (+45.5% CC), adjusted operating profit $50.7M (adjusted net profit $51.4M; reported net $7.3M; adjusted diluted EPS +33% YoY), marketing at 5.6% of GBV, buyback program enlarged to $200M with $46.1M deployed this quarter, and cash equivalents >$100M while continuing to invest in AI and strategic opportunities.

Makemytrip Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Operating performance and cash generation have improved (positive TTM operating and free cash flow, healthy gross margin ~74% and positive operating/net margins). However, the latest balance sheet is a major risk: TTM stockholders’ equity is negative and total debt is very high, reducing financial flexibility and raising downside risk despite better profitability.
Income Statement
74
Positive
MMYT shows a strong multi-year revenue rebound (annual growth accelerated sharply in 2022–2024 and remains positive in 2025), with profitability turning meaningfully higher versus the losses seen in 2021–2023. Margins are healthy in the latest period, with TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) gross margin ~74% and positive operating and net margins (~15% and ~8%). The main weakness is earnings volatility: net margin and net income swung materially year-to-year (notably very high net margin in 2024 followed by lower profitability in TTM), indicating less stable bottom-line performance.
Balance Sheet
38
Negative
The balance sheet profile deteriorates in the latest period: TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) stockholders’ equity is negative while total debt is very high, which is a clear financial risk signal and reduces balance sheet flexibility. This contrasts with prior annual reports (2021–2025 annual) where equity was solidly positive and debt levels were modest relative to equity. Overall, the sharp shift to negative equity and elevated debt in TTM is the key weakness despite improving operating performance.
Cash Flow
69
Positive
Cash generation is a bright spot: TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) operating cash flow and free cash flow are positive and growing strongly (free cash flow growth is ~33% in TTM), and free cash flow roughly matches reported net income in TTM. However, cash flow coverage of debt is not particularly strong in the periods shown, and earlier years included weaker/negative free cash flow (notably 2022), highlighting some cyclicality and financing risk given the current leverage.

MakeMyTrip to Acquire Majority Stake in Flamingo Transworld to Bolster Holiday Packages
Mar 5, 2026

On March 5, 2026, MakeMyTrip announced it has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Flamingo Transworld, a prominent regional tour operator with a 30-year presence in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

The deal, subject to closing conditions, is aimed at strengthening MakeMyTrip’s Holiday Packages business by combining Flamingo’s offline regional strength with the company’s national online reach. Management framed the acquisition as part of a broader, calibrated inorganic expansion that has already brought in capabilities in corporate travel, hotel technology, forex, intercity mobility and spend management, reinforcing MakeMyTrip’s push to be a full-stack travel services platform and deepening its penetration into underserved regional markets across India.

MakeMyTrip Posts Double-Digit Revenue Growth but Sharp Drop in Q3 FY26 Profit
Jan 21, 2026

On January 21, 2026, MakeMyTrip reported its unaudited results for the fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2025, showing revenue of $295.7 million, up 10.6% year-on-year (15.4% in constant currency), driven mainly by continued expansion in hotels and packages, bus ticketing and other services, while air ticketing revenue remained broadly flat.
