Action:ReiteratedDate:02/13/26
The score is led by improving fundamentals (scaled revenue, stronger balance sheet, and positive TTM free cash flow) and a constructive earnings call pointing to continued margin improvement and corporate momentum. This is tempered by still-negative net income, uneven historical cash generation, and weak near-term technical momentum; valuation is also less supportive due to the negative P/E and no dividend data.
Positive Factors
Revenue & Booking Scale
Sustained top-line scale across air and hotels establishes distribution leverage and supplier negotiation power. Broadening gross bookings and revenue diversify risk, support marketing ROI, and create a foundation for sustained margin expansion as fixed costs spread and corporate cross-sell grows.
Balance Sheet Strength
A materially stronger balance sheet with low debt-to-equity provides financial flexibility to fund growth, absorb industry shocks, and invest in product initiatives. Lower leverage reduces refinancing risk and enables strategic spending on tech, M&A or working capital when needed.
Corporate Clients & SaaS Traction
Growing corporate sales and early SaaS (expense management) adoption increase recurring, higher-margin revenue and customer stickiness. This B2B momentum diversifies revenue away from pure consumer volatility and creates upsell pathways that improve long-term revenue visibility.
Negative Factors
Persistent Net Losses
Despite operating improvements, continued net losses constrain retained earnings and investor confidence. Persistent negative net income limits reinvestment capacity, depresses ROE across periods, and demands sustained margin and scale improvements to deliver durable shareholder returns.
Volatile Cash Generation
Large swings in operating and free cash flow undermine predictability for capex, product investment, and working capital financing. Unsteady cash conversion raises refinancing and liquidity planning risks, making consistent funding of growth initiatives more challenging without conservative buffers.
Operational Sensitivity to Industry Shocks
Dependence on third-party airline operations and event timing creates structural revenue and cash volatility. Deferred MICE bookings and vendor advance payments raise working-capital needs, pressuring margins; the business must build contractual or cash buffers to mitigate recurring operational shocks.

Yatra Online Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 11, 2026
(Q3-2026)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlights robust operational momentum—double-digit growth in bookings across air and hotels, strong margin expansion (gross margins up to 10.2%), meaningful corporate client additions (40 new clients adding INR 2.2B potential revenue), and early SaaS traction with 8 customers on the expense management product. These positives were partially offset by a one-off industry airline disruption in December that deferred MICE bookings, increased working capital needs, and caused temporary revenue timing impacts. Liquidity remains adequate and management expects the disruption to be non-structural, with strategies in place to accelerate corporate penetration and product-led upsell.
Q3-2026 Updates
Positive Updates
Consolidated Revenue Growth
Revenue from operations grew 10% year-on-year to INR 2,577 million (~$29M) for Q3 FY2026, driven by strength across key segments, notably air ticketing and hotels.
Air Ticketing Strong Performance
Air gross bookings increased 22% YoY to INR 16,931 million (~$188M); air passenger volume rose 13% YoY to 1,491,000. Air adjusted margins increased 40% YoY to INR 1,195 million (~$13M) and adjusted margin percentage improved from 6.2% to 7.1%.
Hotels & Packages Growth
Hotel room nights grew 22% YoY to 508,000; Hotels & Packages gross bookings increased ~20% YoY to INR 4,306 million (~$47M). Hotels standalone would have grown over 30% on a stand-alone basis, and adjusted margins expanded 15% YoY to INR 502 million (~$6M).
Improved Overall Gross Margins and Take Rates
Overall gross margins improved from 9.7% to 10.2% YoY. Air take rates improved from 6.2% to 7.1% YoY; hotel take rates moderated slightly from 12.2% to 11.7% YoY due to mix.
Corporate Travel Momentum and New Client Wins
Onboarded 40 new corporate clients in the quarter, adding an annual billing potential of INR 2.2 billion. B2B contribution remains material with initiatives to expand online penetration (management cites ~23% online penetration opportunity).
Product & SaaS Traction (Expense Management)
Early traction for Yatra's expense management solution with 8 customers onboarded; management highlights this as both a door-opener for new accounts and a meaningful upsell opportunity within existing corporate customers.
Healthy Liquidity Position
Cash and cash equivalents plus term deposits stood at INR 2,042 million (~$23M) as of December 31, 2025, providing operating liquidity headroom.
Negative Updates
Airline Operational Disruptions and Cancellations
Industry-wide airline schedule disruptions (notably IndiGo in early December) caused widespread cancellations and operational challenges, producing a one-time adverse impact on December results and leading to deferred travel and bookings.
MICE and Corporate Events Deferments
MICE and corporate events subsegment experienced temporary deferrals; some bookings moved into Q4 and Q1 of the next fiscal year, reducing near-term revenue recognition for the quarter.
Incremental Working Capital Outflow
Disruptions required increased working capital deployment where advances had already been paid to vendors for MICE groups, creating a short-term cash/operational headwind.
Slight Moderation in Hotel Take Rates
Hotel gross take rates moderated from 12.2% to 11.7% YoY due to change in business mix, slightly offsetting some margin benefits despite overall gross margin expansion.
Marginal Increase in Gross Debt
Gross debt rose modestly from INR 546 million (Mar 31, 2025) to INR 583 million (Dec 31, 2025), which, although small, represents a slight increase in leverage.
Company Guidance
Guidance from the call was constructive and metric-driven: management expects continued margin expansion and improved profitability over the long term, with Q3 FY26 results showing revenue from operations up 10% YoY to INR 2,577m (~$29m), Air gross bookings +22% YoY to INR 16,931m (~$188m) with passenger volume ~1,491,000 (+13% YoY) and take rates/margin% improving from 6.2% to 7.1% (Air adjusted margins +40% YoY to INR 1,195m/~$13m); Hotels & Packages room nights +22% to 508,000, gross bookings +20% to INR 4,306m (~$47m) and adjusted margins +15% YoY to INR 502m (~$6m) (gross take rates 12.2% → 11.7%); B2B:B2C mix ~60:40 (9‑month avg 65:35); cash + term deposits INR 2,042m (~$23m) and gross debt INR 583m (vs INR 546m Mar‑25). They expect deferred MICE bookings to largely roll into Q4 (with some into Q1 FY27), see strong corporate momentum (40 new corporate clients adding INR 2.2bn annual billing, 8 customers on expense management, online penetration ~23%), and view policy tailwinds (TCS on overseas packages to a uniform 2%) and AI-enabled product investments as drivers of growth over the next 3–4 quarters.

Yatra Online Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Recovery is evident: revenue scaled sharply and the latest period shows positive EBITDA plus strong positive operating cash flow (705M) and free cash flow (708M). The main drag is durability—bottom-line results are still negative (TTM net income -129M) and cash flows have been volatile across periods.
Income Statement
52
Neutral
Income statement trends are improving but still mixed. Revenue has scaled sharply, reaching 10.37B in TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) vs 7.95B in FY2025 and ~1.27B in FY2021, indicating strong top-line momentum. Profitability has improved materially from deep losses in FY2021–FY2022 to a much smaller loss in TTM (net income -129M), with positive EBITDA in recent periods. However, the company is still not consistently profitable at the bottom line (losses persist in TTM and FY2025), and margins have been volatile across years.
Balance Sheet
74
Positive
The balance sheet looks meaningfully stronger than earlier years, with low leverage in the latest period and a large equity base. In TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months), debt is 916M against equity of 5.19B (low debt-to-equity), a major improvement versus FY2023 when leverage was very high. Total assets have expanded to 13.39B, supporting scale. Key watch-out: returns on equity have been negative in several annual periods, reflecting that profitability has not been consistently strong enough to fully validate the capital base, even though the latest ROE is positive.
Cash Flow
58
Neutral
Cash flow has improved notably in the latest period, but consistency remains a concern. TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) shows solid positive operating cash flow (705M) and positive free cash flow (708M), a sharp turnaround from FY2025 and FY2024 where both were negative. The main weakness is volatility: operating and free cash flow swung significantly across years, and TTM free cash flow growth is negative (down meaningfully vs the prior period), suggesting recent cash generation may not be steady yet.

Yatra Online Posts Q3 FY2026 Revenue Growth but Swings to Loss Amid Restructuring Push
Feb 11, 2026

On February 11, 2026, Yatra Online reported unaudited results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, highlighting resilient top-line growth despite disruptions in India’s domestic aviation sector and geopolitical headwinds affecting Middle East routes. Revenue rose 9.6% year-on-year to INR 2,576.9 million, driven by a stronger consumer and affiliate mix, robust air ticketing expansion, and improved hotel and packages profitability.

The company’s corporate travel arm remained a key growth engine, adding 40 new clients and lifting potential annual billings by INR 2,234 million, while the Globe Travels integration delivered supplier and technology synergies and cross-selling gains. However, Yatra swung to a quarterly loss of INR 129.3 million from a profit a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA fell 17.9% year-on-year, even as gross bookings jumped 20.9%, underscoring a trade-off between growth, restructuring efforts to unlock shareholder value, and near-term earnings pressure.

The most recent analyst rating on (YTRA) stock is a Buy with a $1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Yatra Online stock, see the YTRA Stock Forecast page.
