New Delhi, June 3 -- Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd's FY25 benefitted from a full-year contribution of Aurika, Mumbai SkyCity, which opened in the third quarter of FY24. FY25 consolidated revenue and Ebitda each rose about 20% year-on-year to Rs.1,286 crore and Rs.634 crore, respectively. Growth was aided by an 11% increase in revenue per available room (RevPAR) to Rs.4,575 and an improvement in occupancy rate to 71.7% from 69.9% in FY24.

In the near term, the stabilization of Aurika and further successful ramp-up are vital for earnings growth, while renovation expenses could hurt profitability. FY25 renovation expenses stood at 2.7% of revenue, a 30 basis point rise over FY24. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.
