Fitch upgrades OYO's rating to 'positive' from 'stable'

OYO

Ratings agency Fitch has upgraded its outlook on global travel tech company OYO’s (Oravel Stays Limited) long-term foreign and local currency issuer default ratings (IDRs) to positive from stable, while affirming the ratings at ‘B-’. Fitch has also affirmed the rating on the USD 660 million senior secured term loan facility due 2026, issued by OYO's fully owned subsidiary, Oravel Stays Singapore Pte Limited, at 'B-'. The Recovery Rating is 'RR4'. The Fitch report further states that the term loan facility is unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by OYO and certain subsidiaries within the group and the guarantee covers 121% of the outstanding principal or up to USD 800 million, and Fitch considers this guarantee full and worthy. Fitch explains the rating change, “We expect OYO to deliver positive EBITDA and CFO in FY24, ahead of Fitch’s earlier forecast, led by a greater reduction in operating costs than we expected. We expect significant growth in its EBITDA in FY24, led by an ongoing demand recovery in the travel and tourism industry, the company’s stable gross margins, and reduction in operating costs. This follows positive EBITDA in every quarter of FY23, which is the first year of profits since OYO’s incorporation in 2012. The rating also reflects OYO’s adequate liquidity.” The rating by Fitch reflects OYO’s asset-light business model that benefits from minimal capex needs, largely exclusive distribution rights, pricing control over storefront inventory, fixed revenue share and strong long-term growth potential. Fitch expects the cost-reduction measures that OYO undertook in recent years to support its improving profitability in FY24. The report states that such reductions will not affect growth, as OYO has increased its business development staff to prioritise storefront additions. Fitch also expects travel and tourism industry conditions to continue to improve in OYO’s key markets in FY24, following a strong recovery in FY23 from pent-up demand for leisure travel after the easing of Covid-19 restrictions. The Indian hotel industry saw improving occupancy rates with a 73% increase in the number of air-traffic passengers in FY23. Foreign tourist arrivals also increased to 6.2 million in 2022 from 1.5 million in 2021, albeit still well below pre-pandemic levels. “OYO increased the number of storefronts and GBV per storefront in its European homes business in FY23 as leisure travel recovered, despite the cost-of-living crisis and reduced disposable incomes in the region. We expect this recovery to continue over the upcoming summer holiday and be further supported by a recovery in business travel, which initially picked up at a slower pace.” said Fitch. The rating agency estimates that OYO's unrestricted cash at FYE23 is sufficient to fund it’s the Fitch-estimated free cash flow deficit of around USD 7 million and annual debt repayment of around USD 6 million in FY24. Recently, global ratings agency Moody’s (Moody’s Investors Service) announced that it expects OYO to remain EBITDA positive for FY24 and its overall outlook to remain stable. Moody’s in its report said that OYO will generate around $50 million-$55 million EBITDA, after shared based payment expenses in fiscal 2024, supported by a strong demand recovery in the hospitality business, increase in the number of storefronts on OYO's platform, and cost optimisations. In March, OYO refiled its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the stock market regulator SEBI under the recently introduced Confidential pre-filing route. A source close to the company said that the company will be “fine-tuning the issue size, basis the market conditions, to between $400 to 600 million, all of which will now be a primary issuance, to repay most of its debt.” The Confidential pre-filing route option was allowed by SEBI in November 2022 as part of bringing in progressive and globally popular practices. The company recently announced that it plans to double the number of premium hotels such as Townhouse, Collection O and Capital O in India in 2023 by adding approximately 1800 high street, upmarket hotels. The company’s UK business plans to add more than 50 properties to its UK portfolio in 2023 with a focus on cities such as London and Birmingham. OYO already has more than 150 hotels across the UK. The company is also planning to add over 100 hotels in the US in 2023. Contact Details Anupriya +91 97911 63065 anupriya.d@oyorooms.com Company Website https://www.oyorooms.com/

Eleazar Kauderer Sponsors Basketball Dreams as the USA Best AAU Compete for Glory at World’s Biggest Streetball Quai 54 Championship in Paris

Basketball Dreams

Eleazar (Ele) Kauderer, CEO of Tiger Marketing and Branding Agency (“Tiger”), and Dalmorlie Williamson, Assistant Director of the Rising Stars Youth Organization (“Rising Stars”), together, are proud to announce Kauderer’s sponsorship of “Team USA Select”, an Amateur Athletic Union (“AAU”) traveling basketball all-star team drawn, in part, from Williamson’s Rising Stars. Kauderer’s sponsorship will help to fund Team USA Select’s pursuit of greatness at the iconic “Quai 54” streetball tournament under the shadow of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, this summer. Quai 54, known globally as the world’s biggest streetball tournament championship event, will take place in early July. Every team competing at the event will be full of talented kids—from amateurs off the streets to current NBA stars—ready to leave everything on the court for global recognition in a direct-elimination process. The Team USA Select is an AAU traveling basketball team with roots in Ele Kauderer’s and Williamson’s efforts going back over a decade to found and sustain a NYC basketball program capable of stoking the hopes and dreams of talented kids from underserved neighborhoods. Kauderer commented on his sponsorship of the team in 2023: “These kids mean the world to me. Malie [Williamson] and I have been involved for long enough to see the longitudinal data—to see lives change and doorways open—and to see the results of that progress years later. I don’t think anything I have been involved with over the years has been such a source of pride and joy as this program has, and I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to make a fresh difference in 2023.” Kauderer continues, “In conjunction with my Not for Profit Organization Youth Empowerment & Success I’ve created a Go Fund Me Link for anyone who wants to be a part of making these boys Dreams come to reality as well as give global visibility to those who want to be a part of something so great! Because no matter what you make or what you do, if you don’t look to help those around you get better, stronger, more successful and achieve their dreams, you’ve not even made a blip in the time you’ve spent living your own life.” https://gofund.me/d0f6250d Ele Kauderer, a New York businessman, has been involved in international business, investment banking, marketing, branding, and public relations for nearly 25 years. He implemented television and radio marketing campaigns, production of commercials, national product launches, public relations for both private and public companies as well as political campaigns. A passionate supporter of youth and community causes, Ele has worked as a coach, mentor, and philanthropist, helping to drive opportunity pathways for underserved kids through multiple channels, including non-profit basketball programs leveraging the team sports model to bring kids and teens of all stripes together to compete in championship-level events. Dalmorlie Williamson has over 15 years of experience in youth basketball. During that time, he has worked as a high school basketball coach, an assistant director and coach for the D1 Stars AAU program, and a leader in the Rising Stars Youth organization. “Malie is on a mission in life to remove false ceilings for serious talent—to see driven young athletes leverage their God-given skills and their sense of determination to open up opportunities like a top-tier college education or a path into the pro sports marketplace,” added Kauderer. “Not only does he have a gift for spotting the genuine article—next-level talent—but he knows what it takes to translate that kind of rare gift into a real opportunity in the Show. He has special insight into these kids, and a lot of people know it. But he also has a heart of gold. He’s a true inspiration, and I’m grateful to be involved.” (Sponsor Team USA Select at the QUAI 54 in France & help pave the way for our next generation of success https://gofund.me/d0f6250d ) Related links: www.EleazarKauderer.com www.quai54.com www.aauboysbasketball.org Contact Details Mark McKelvie +1 585-301-7700 markrmckelvie@gmail.com

Young Adults Are Betting More on Sports

MarketJar

Sports betting is continuing to gain popularity among youth, particularly those on college campuses and within minority communities according to a new NCAA-commissioned survey. The online survey of over 3,500 individuals between 18- to 22-year-olds revealed that more than half of respondents were placing sports wagers, two-thirds of which live on college campuses. NCAA president Charlie Baker commissioned the survey to establish a baseline of sports betting activity in the new US gambling landscape. In the last five years, 33 states and the District of Columbia have launched legal betting markets and several more are gearing up to enter the bookmaking business later this year. According to the survey, 58% of respondents admitted to making at least one sports wager, while 67% of students living on campus stated they are bettors and bet more frequently. In the poll, 79% of participants reported betting between $1 and $50 every play, with $10 to $20 being the most often bet sum. Black or African American respondents were the outliers, with 10% betting more than $100 on average, compared to 5% in the entire population. The most popular league among 18-22-year-olds was the NFL, followed by professional basketball (NBA/WNBA). College basketball and football came in third and fourth place, respectively. The poll also revealed that states with legal markets had roughly the same rate of betting participation as states without licensed sportsbooks. In the coming months, the NCAA will conduct another study of student-athletes focusing solely on their betting habits. The NCAA put out the study less than a month after it was discovered that a baseball coach at Alabama and players at Iowa and Iowa State had made illegal sports bets. Sports Betting Ramps Up in Canada Last year, Ontario became the first province in Canada to implement a regulated sports betting program, allowing various operators to provide legal, online sports gambling services. With over 40 operators and 76 websites/apps available after only one year of legalization, Ontario is quickly becoming one of the major igaming markets in North America. During its first year, the industry generated roughly $1.4 billion in gaming revenue and $35.6 billion in wagers. Among the companies within Ontario’s nascent online gambling market is NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV:BET), a Canadian-owned gaming brand that operates NorthStar Bets, a casino and sportsbook gaming platform that offers a distinctly local user experience. NorthStar Bets offers a wide range of popular online casino games and includes a sportsbook that provides real-time news, data, analysis, and scores directly within the betting environment. NorthStar Gaming launched Northstar Bets in partnership with Playtech PLC (LSE:PTECH) (OTC:PYTCY), a leading provider of B2C gambling tech. The partnership saw Playtech become NorthStar ’s strategic software and services supplier, providing its IMS platform and casino services to Ontario’s gambling market. To fuel expansion and growth across the Canadian market, Playtech made a C$12.25 million strategic investment into Northstar Gaming. This investment marked the completion of Northstar 's reverse takeover (RTO) financing, raising aggregate gross proceeds of C$22.33 million. NorthStar Gaming combines a top-notch casino and sportsbook experience with exceptional customer service, including live, on-call agents, and original sports news and gaming content. Leveraging its strong Ontario roots, the company benefits from its local presence, allowing it to stay in tune with the province's preferences and adapt accordingly. NorthStar is well-positioned to become a leader in the junction of sports media and sports wagering thanks to collaborations and agreements with prominent media firms, including an omnichannel advertising and marketing services agreement with Torstar Corporation, the creator of the Toronto Star. NorthStar, which operates under an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario and is regulated by the Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission (OAGC), is committed to being a gaming industry leader by upholding the highest security and integrity standards demanded by Canadians On May 8, NorthStar Gaming completed the acquisition of Slapshot Media, a Canadian iGaming marketing and managed services company. The acquisition enhances NorthStar 's presence in the Canadian market outside of Ontario and significantly broadens its addressable market through its association with Spreads.ca, an iGaming site owned and operated by the Abenaki Council of Wolinak. The addition of Slapshot Media complements NorthStar Gaming 's existing online casino and sportsbook capabilities. It's important to note that while Spreads.ca will not be available in Ontario, NorthStar Bets will continue to be NorthStar 's sole online casino and sportsbook within the province.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/CqMCndmTOfg Would it surprise you to know that hearing loss in the U.S. is expected to double to 73M by 2060?* Hearing loss can prevent a life well-lived and cause some to miss out on meaningful connections. Even so, it takes people seven years from the time they suspect they might have hearing loss to the time they seek treatment. But no one should ever feel that hearing loss is something to be ashamed of. Proactive health habits such as hearing care are so important to living a long and healthy life. Hollywood legend and HearingLife spokesperson, William Shatner, has lived a full, adventurous life, from traveling to space to acting on the big screen. But what many might not realize is he is also living with tinnitus! William Shatner has teamed up with the leading hearing care company to spread awareness about the importance of hearing care in the US. To stress the importance of proper hearing care, HearingLife is currently running its “Love Your Ears” give back campaign and is giving away free hearing aids to people in financial need who are struggling with hearing loss. For the opportunity to receive free hearing aids through “Love Your Ears,” anyone in the U.S. can submit their personal story to www.hearinglife.com/giveback, or nominate a loved one, explaining how receiving hearing aids could make a difference in the quality of their life.
