This uptick can be attributed to the substantial capital expenditures associated with the development of new resort properties in Q2 FY24.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0focus remains on identifying avenues for expense optimization and operational refinement to drive improved financial performance in the upcoming quarter. Notably, the company attained a robust EBITDA margin of\u00a030.6% in Q2 FY24. Additionally, the company depreciates and amortizes non-permanent structures and equipment used in resort construction over a shorter span of five years, resulting in higher non-cash charges against profits compared to industry standards.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the results\u00a0Mr. Vishnu Patel, Chairman,\u00a0Praveg Limited\u00a0said,\u00a0\u201cCurrent quarter has witnessed lower revenues,\u00a0due to lower exhibition revenues compared to last year Q2 2023. Our\u00a0revenue from resorts was\u00a0practically unchanged from Q2 2023 and the addition of resort capacity towards the end of Q2 2024 will be fully felt only during H2 2024.\u00a0During\u00a0H1FY24,\u00a0our\u00a06\u00a0resorts\u00a0became\u00a0operational.\u00a0We are poised for a period of growth in the second half of FY24,\u00a0fuelled\u00a0by\u00a0the scaling up of our Events &amp; Exhibition business and the timely initiation of our upcoming hospitality projects. We have launched recruitment\u00a0initiatives to\u00a0assemble a\u00a0strong\u00a0professional\u00a0team that will play a pivotal role in supporting our growth. These endeavours are expected to make a positive impact on our overall\u00a0performance for the current year.\u00a0Looking ahead, we anticipate our operational resorts to achieve occupancy rates between 40-45% in the upcoming quarter, while generating an average daily room rate (ADR) of INR 7,000 to\u00a09,000.\u00a0As we move forward, our commitment to nurturing our Hospitality Business remains at the forefront of our strategy. With the anticipated growth of our Events and Exhibition sector, we foresee a powerful synergy that will propel our overall operations to new heights.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact pr.error.rectification@gmail.com to notify us.
