Revenue guidance

Category 2

→Praveg currently operates 18 resorts, with around 50% being operational for over a year; new resorts typically take 1-2 years to improve margins and occupancy.
→Revenue growth is expected in H2 each year, with H2 usually contributing two-thirds of the annual revenue due to seasonality.
→Exhibition and advertising businesses, which were minimal in prior years, are ramping up and expected to contribute significantly in coming periods.
→Advertising revenue showed strong growth with acquisition and expansion in prime locations; anticipated further growth due to new advertising monopolies in metro cities.
→Exhibition event business is recovering after a 2-year lull; aggressive bidding and new awards are expected to boost revenues.
→Hospitality revenue expected to grow with increased occupancy in resorts like Bangaram and launch of new resorts like Thinnakara.
→Incremental revenues have high margins (70-75%) once fixed costs are covered.
→Overall optimistic outlook for revenue growth in the next 1-2 years, especially due to seasonal upticks and new business segments.

Category 3

→Praveg expects second half (H2) to perform better than first half (H1) due to seasonal demand in hospitality (festive season, winter travel, weddings, corporate events).
→Incremental revenue in H2 is expected to contribute approximately 70-75% margin to profits, as fixed costs remain stable and higher occupancy improves operating leverage.
→Exhibition and advertising businesses, which saw a dip earlier, are regaining momentum and expected to add to revenues in H2 and beyond.
→New resorts take 1-2 years to ramp up; long-term occupancy of stable properties expected around 40%.
→Capex for new properties largely done; future growth focused on an investor capex model to reduce company investment burden.
→Management emphasizes longer-term vision over short-term results; operating efficiencies and eco-luxury positioning expected to improve margins over time.
→No explicit EPS guidance given, but growth in revenues, improving margins, and margin accretive new businesses like theme parks indicate a positive earnings trajectory.
