Wonderla Holidays Q1 FY26: Numbers, dates, dividend

What the latest disclosures signal

Wonderla Holidays has lined up key calendar events for investors, with an upcoming earnings date and a declared dividend date. Alongside these corporate updates, the company has also shared detailed quarterly operating and financial metrics for Q1 FY26 and an announced Q2 FY26 performance snapshot. The data highlights a quarter where visitor volumes remained high, but external factors and higher marketing costs weighed on profitability. At the same time, average revenue per user (ARPU) improved year-on-year, pointing to pricing and non-ticket revenue initiatives. The mix of footfalls, ARPU, and margin movement is central to interpreting how the quarter played out.

Earnings calendar and dividend

Wonderla Holidays’ last earnings date is listed as 7 May 2026 for Q4 FY25-26. The upcoming earnings date is 4 Aug 2026 for Q1 FY26-27. On the corporate action front, the company has declared a dividend of Rs 2.00, dated 7 Aug 2026. These dates matter because they frame when updated operational commentary and financial performance will be available to the market.

Q1 FY26 headline operating performance

For Q1 FY26, Wonderla reported footfalls of 9.17 lakh visitors across its parks. Revenue from operations was reported at Rs 16,824 lakhs, which converts to Rs 168.24 crore, and the company noted this was down 3% year-on-year. The quarter included new launches such as Isle glamping pods and the Bhubaneswar park, which the company said affected comparability with previous periods. The company also indicated that the quarter saw early monsoon rains and weaker consumer sentiment that affected visitor attendance later in the period.

Profitability, margins, and EPS in Q1 FY26

Wonderla’s EBITDA for Q1 FY26 stood at Rs 8,750 lakhs, or Rs 87.50 crore, down 9.9% year-on-year. EBITDA margin was reported at 48.9%. Profit after tax (PAT) was Rs 5,257.40 lakhs, or Rs 52.57 crore, with a PAT margin of 29.4%. Basic EPS for Q1 FY26 was 8.29, compared with 11.18 in Q1 FY25. Other income in the quarter was Rs 600 lakhs, or Rs 6.00 crore, mainly from interest and investment gains.

Footfalls across parks: where visitors came from

The company shared park-wise footfalls for Q1 FY26. Bengaluru recorded 3.22 lakh visitors, Kochi 2.37 lakh, Hyderabad 2.62 lakh, and Bhubaneswar 0.96 lakh. This split helps explain the overall 9.17 lakh figure and offers a base for tracking performance at each location. Management commentary also suggested the quarter started strong, with April showing double-digit growth, before footfalls softened later due to weather and sentiment factors.

ARPU, ticket pricing, and non-ticket spend

Wonderla reported ARPU of Rs 1,775 in Q1 FY26, up 6% year-on-year. The average ticket price was Rs 1,281, reflecting a 4% year-on-year increase. Average non-ticket spend per head was Rs 493, up 11% year-on-year. The company also stated that non-ticket revenue per head now makes up 28% of ARPU, indicating a larger contribution from in-park spending beyond entry tickets.

What management said on the earnings call

In the earnings call summary for Aug 1, 2025, management said revenue from operations was about Rs 169 crore and down 3% year-on-year, linking the decline mainly to lower footfalls and external disruptions such as early monsoons. EBITDA margin was reported at 48.9%, with EBITDA down year-on-year and margins pressured by increased marketing spend and lower footfalls. Management said the reduction in footfalls contributed roughly 31% of the EBITDA reduction, while incremental marketing expenditure contributed 45%, with the rest attributed to other expenses. The company also highlighted early demand for the new Isle luxury resort in Bengaluru, with occupancy rates said to be around 60-70%.

Q2 FY26 results snapshot: footfalls and income

Wonderla also disclosed a Q2 FY26 quarterly result snapshot. It reported footfalls of 5.05 lakh and total income of Rs 8,852 lakh, which converts to Rs 88.52 crore, up 24% year-on-year. Park-wise footfalls were listed as Bengaluru at 1.96 lakh, Kochi at 1.92 lakh, Hyderabad at 0.93 lakh, and Bhubaneshwar at 0.24 lakh. EBITDA for the quarter was Rs 748 lakh, or Rs 7.48 crore, and was described as up 8X year-on-year.

Longer-term financial track record (annual series)

The company’s annual financial table (figures in Rs crore) provides longer context for recent quarters. Revenue is listed at Rs 483 crore for FY24, Rs 459 crore for FY25, and Rs 480 crore on a trailing twelve-month (TTM) basis. Operating profit is listed at Rs 229 crore in FY24 and Rs 149 crore in FY25, with operating margin (OPM %) shown at 47% in FY24 and 32% in FY25. EPS is listed at 27.92 in FY24 and 17.23 in FY25, and dividend payout percentage is listed at 9% in FY24 and 12% in FY25.

What to track into the upcoming results date

With the next results scheduled for 4 Aug 2026, investors will likely focus on whether footfalls normalize after the early monsoon disruption noted earlier, and whether marketing spends remain elevated. Updates on ARPU trends, ticket versus non-ticket mix, and the contribution from newer offerings such as glamping pods and the resort will remain important operating markers. The declared dividend of Rs 2.00 dated 7 Aug 2026 is a clear near-term corporate event. Separately, management commentary has also referenced the Chennai park construction being on track with a soft launch planned for December 2025, which will be another milestone to monitor when official updates are issued.
