Highlights
- 1Q17 EBITDA1 reached Ps. 150.6 million, a 16.5% increase compared to 1Q16 driven by revenue growth and efficiencies from operating leverage achieved in the quarter. 1Q17 EBITDA margin reduced to 38.9% due to a tough comparable base driven by holy-week in 1Q16 which this year was in April.
- 1Q17 Total Revenue reached Ps. 387.0 million, a 20.1% increase compared to 1Q16, driven by the following increases: i) 18.0% in Room Revenue, ii) 18.8% in Food and Beverages Revenue, iii) 34.1% in Other Hotel Revenue and iv) 26.0% in management fees related to third-party owned hotels.
- 1Q17 Net Income reached Ps. 184.9 million, a 162.7% increase compared to 1Q16. Net income margin was 47.8%, driven by an FX gain combined with a higher operating income.
- 1Q17 Net operating cash flow was Ps. 157.9 million, an increase of 37.1% compared to the Ps. 115.2 million reported in 1Q16. This increase was mainly due to working capital variations combined with a higher operating income.
