1.4 Key Metrics:

During the period from Q2 FY24 to Q2 FY25, revenue and gross margin fluctuated due to seasonal demand patterns, occupancy rates, and pricing strength. Revenue peaked in Q3 FY24 on the back of robust consumer demand and high onboard spending, driving gross margin to 45.16%. However, revenue and margins declined in Q4 FY24 due to seasonality and lower capacity utilization. While revenue gradually improved in Q1 and Q2 FY25, gross margin also recovered to 42.13% by Q2 FY25, supported by cost efficiencies and strong advance bookings. Net income, however, was volatile, peaking in Q3 FY24 and turning negative in Q1 FY25 due to significant foreign exchange losses and higher depreciation. Despite revenue and margin recovery in Q2 FY25, net income remained low, reflecting ongoing FX headwinds and elevated interest expenses.
