Stable Outlook, Positive EBIDTA says Moody’s, as OYO Reports its First Cash Flow Positive quarter

Aadhan Media

Global rating agency Moody’s (Moody’s Investors Service) has reported that it expects IPO-bound OYO (Oravel Stays Limited) to remain EBITDA positive for FY24 and the overall outlook to remain stable. Moody’s in its latest ratings update said that OYO will generate EBITDA of around $50 -$55 million in FY2024, supported by a strong demand recovery in the hospitality business, an increase in the number of storefronts on OYO's platform, and cost optimisations. Moody's has affirmed OYO’s B3 corporate family rating (CFR) and the B3 rating of the backed senior secured term loan issued by Oravel Stays Singapore Pvt. Ltd, OYO's wholly owned subsidiary. Moody’s report elaborates that OYO has good liquidity and the company's existing cash and cash equivalents will remain sufficient to support its operations. It further adds that the company will generate positive EBITDA for the fiscal year ending 31 March 2024 (fiscal 2024), even after accounting for share-based payment expenses. " The rating affirmation reflects Moody's expectation that OYO remains on track to turn EBITDA positive (after share-based payment expenses), on a full-year basis, for the fiscal year ending 31 March 2024, supported by a strong demand recovery and its various cost reductions, ” says Sweta Patodia, Assistant Vice President and Moody's Lead Analyst for OYO. The Moody’s report comes after founder Ritesh Agarwal in an employee town hall, said that it has turned cash flow positive in the Q4 FY 2023, marking the next important step towards becoming a profitable company. The company ended the quarter with nearly $11 million surplus cash flow. While Moody’s estimates remain conservative the company is bullish on EBITDA profitability. Agarwal said that OYO has marked their first financial year of Adj EBITDA profitability in FY2023 and are expected to clock Adj. EBITDA of over $100 million for FY2024. A source revealed that this can be attributed to an increase in bookings across all key geographies, but especially in the Europe homes business that is witnessing unprecedented advance bookings for both for the upcoming summer season peak and even the relatively off-season period between November to March. The cash flows also have a seasonality element. They increase during the European high season when advance bookings peak. Hence the positive cash trajectory is expected to continue into the first quarter of FY 2024. The company treasury or cash corpus on the balance sheet is ~$328 mn. Moody's expects OYO to benefit from changing demographic and societal trends as increasing smartphone usage and data consumption in its key operating markets will increase the demand for its services. OYO operates over 168K hotels and homes in more than 35 countries. The company recently announced that it is planning to add over 100 hotels in the US in 2023. Currently, OYO has over 250 hotels across the US. OYO’s UK business plans to add more than 50 properties to its 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 also plans to double the number of premium hotels such as Townhouse Oak, OYO Townhouse, Collection O and Capital O in India in 2023 by adding approximately 1800 premium hotels.

Vacation®’s rapid growth can be attributed to its ability to bring a fun, unexpected new approach to the sunscreen category. Pairing best-in-class skincare and suncare science with novel and innovative formats (such as a whipped cream-inspired SPF ), its “leisure-enhancing” products regularly go viral on social media platforms, organically racking up views in the millions and leading to inventory selling out across retailers. In addition to novel formats and best-in-class formulas, their cult-favorite products also focus heavily on the sensorial experience. They are carefully designed to make you look, feel, and smell like you’ve been to paradise and back, and are coupled with an immersive brand world that helps transport users to a place of bliss. Vacation® plans to use this infusion of capital to: Expand its distribution nationwide, entering all doors of Ulta Beauty, Nordstrom, and Anthropologie, as well as inking new partnerships with BlueMercury, CIBO, and Aerie.

Stay One Step Ahead: Master the Essentials of Cybersecurity Readiness!

YourUpdateTV

From data breaches to phishing scams, cybercrime is on the rise, and it's time to arm yourself with the knowledge and tools to stay safe in the digital world. Recently, Dave Lewis, Global Advisory Chief Information Security Officer at Cisco Security, conducted a satellite media tour to share tips and tricks to outsmart cyber criminals and stay safe online. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/VDTqR8LqwOM After surveying over 6,700 cybersecurity leaders worldwide, Cisco found that less than 15% of companies were ‘Mature’ enough (or considered to have advanced enough security) to defend against modern cybersecurity risks, even though 82% of respondents said they expect a cybersecurity incident to disrupt their business in the next two years. While this may not seem to directly impact consumers at first, the aftermath can take a large toll on the public, causing emails, credit cards and personal information to be leaked on the internet. Here are some tips that Lewis shared: · Be a safe shopper: o Never use a debit card, use a credit card, I like one specifically for online purchases. o Don’t save your personal or credit card information on any company site – If they company doesn’t have it, the company can’t lose it, and the criminals can’t steal it. o Closely watch your online accounts. · Build cyber street smarts - Criminals will use information from a breach against you: o Evaluate the company before sharing personal information. o Only share essential information with any company or third-party. o Know the signs of a scam - If it seems too good to be true, if there’s too much pressure. · Personal resilience - Expect breaches: o Use multi-factor on all accounts. o Use separate email addresses and credit cards – our phones may make this easier. o Talk about it when it happens – empathy and compassion, kinder than necessary. According to Cisco, 60% of respondents said they had a cybersecurity incident in the last year, which cost 41% of organizations affected at least $500,000. While forward-looking businesses are investing in resilience and focused on improving their ability to defend against and minimize the impact of an attack, consumers also must take an active role in protecting their own information, especially as breaches become more and more inevitable. To learn more about this and Cisco’s Cybersecurity Readiness Index, visit: cisco.com/go/readinessindex BIO: Dave Lewis is a Global Advisory CISO at Cisco Security. He has 25 years of experience in IT security operations and management including a decade dealing with critical infrastructure security.

Uno Pizzeria and Grill, the historic Deep Dish pizza restaurant chain, has stepped up to now offer a matching 20% food discount to beleaguered Bed Bath and Beyond customers who were told last week that the iconic blue-and-white coupons are no longer valid at the now-closing chain of retail stores.

The offer is intended as a one-time use and is valid for Dine-in only not to be combined with other offers. “We always want to provide value for our Guests and this is a way to extend that value a little further during these economically challenging times. We figured that the bad news of Bed Bath and Beyond closing for their customers could be softened just a little bit by extending this discount for them to join us for a an awesome meal”, concluded Dellamarggio. About UNO Pizzeria & Grill Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Uno Restaurant Holdings Corporation includes approximately 80 company-owned and franchised UNO Pizzeria & Grill restaurants located in 18 states, and the District of Columbia, India, and Saudi Arabia.
