Easy Trip Planners returns to Q2 profit as revenue rises 18.9%

Easy Trip Planners Limited reported consolidated revenue from operations of ₹168.02 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, up 18.9% from ₹141.28 crore a year earlier, and returned to a net profit of ₹3.81 crore from a ₹8.08 crore loss in the previous-year quarter. The result indicates a quarterly improvement, although the half-year remained loss-making.

What did Easy Trip Planners report for the September 2026 quarter?

Easy Trip Planners reported total income and consolidated revenue from operations of ₹168.02 crore for the September 2026 quarter. Revenue was higher than ₹141.28 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The company recorded profit after tax of ₹3.81 crore, compared with a net loss of ₹8.08 crore in the September 2025 quarter.

The quarterly profit marks a reversal from the year-earlier loss. The disclosed figures also show that segment profit before finance costs, depreciation and unallocated income was ₹3.81 crore during the quarter. The company’s results cover its air passage, hotel packages and other services businesses.

Easy Trip Planners had informed the exchanges that its board was scheduled to meet on November 14, 2026, to consider and approve unaudited standalone and consolidated results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. Its trading window had been closed from October 1 and was to remain closed until 48 hours after the results were declared.

Which business segments generated Easy Trip Planners' revenue?

Easy Trip Planners disclosed hotel packages as its largest reported segment by quarterly revenue, at ₹92.05 crore. Air passage contributed ₹56.31 crore, while other services generated ₹9.64 crore in the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

The figures show the scale of each operating category within the company’s travel-services portfolio. Hotel packages accounted for a larger disclosed revenue contribution than air passage for the quarter. The segment disclosures do not provide a separate explanation for the movement in each category, so the results do not establish the specific drivers of their growth or profitability.

Why did the half-year result remain in a loss?

Easy Trip Planners reported a net loss of ₹40.88 crore for the six months ended September 30, 2026, despite the profit recorded in the September quarter. Total income for the first half stood at ₹309.30 crore. The difference between the profitable second quarter and the half-year loss indicates that the first-quarter outcome weighed on the six-month result.

The source data also lists a June 2026 quarterly profit after tax loss of ₹11.41 crore. That earlier quarterly loss, together with the September-quarter profit, is consistent with the reported half-year loss. However, the available information does not provide a detailed line-by-line explanation for the first-half loss, such as expense movements or exceptional items.

For investors, the half-year result is therefore distinct from the quarterly recovery. A return to profit in one quarter improves the comparison with the September 2025 loss, but it does not offset the accumulated loss reported for the six-month period.

What does the balance sheet show at September 2026?

Easy Trip Planners reported total assets of ₹1,478.69 crore as of September 30, 2026. Equity attributable to owners of the holding company stood at ₹1,039.64 crore, while total equity and liabilities matched total assets at ₹1,478.69 crore.

These figures provide a balance-sheet snapshot at the end of the reporting period rather than a measure of quarterly operating performance. The information supplied does not include comparative balance-sheet figures for an earlier date, so it does not support a calculation of asset or equity growth over the period.

The company operates online travel booking services for flights, hotels and holiday packages for retail and corporate customers in India. Its financial performance is therefore linked to booking activity across travel categories, as reflected in the segment reporting.

How does the quarterly result fit Easy Trip Planners' recent operating context?

Easy Trip Planners entered FY27 after reporting ₹536 crore in revenue from operations for FY26 and gross booking revenue of ₹8,375.90 crore. Its Hotels and Holidays business recorded 17.66 lakh room-night bookings in FY26, compared with 9.35 lakh in the prior year, an increase of 88.9%.

The company also reported Dubai gross booking revenue of ₹1,531 crore for FY26, representing year-on-year growth of 118.28%. These figures indicate that hotel and international travel-related activity featured in the company’s recent operating expansion, while the September-quarter segment data placed hotel packages ahead of air passage in disclosed revenue.

The September-quarter revenue gain and profit reversal are relevant because they follow a period in which the company’s reported quarterly operating profitability had been under pressure. No market-price reaction or management outlook was provided in the supplied information. As a result, the disclosed financial figures provide evidence of the period’s performance but not a confirmed forecast for subsequent quarters.

Conclusion

Easy Trip Planners' September 2026 quarter showed a return to profitability, with ₹3.81 crore in profit after tax against a ₹8.08 crore loss a year earlier, alongside an 18.9% rise in consolidated revenue to ₹168.02 crore. Hotel packages were the largest disclosed revenue segment, and the company maintained a ₹1,478.69 crore asset base at the end of September.

The main point to watch is whether the quarterly recovery can improve the first-half position, which still showed a ₹40.88 crore net loss. The board meeting scheduled for November 14, 2026, was set to consider the unaudited standalone and consolidated results along with the statutory auditors’ limited review report.
