During the first quarter, OYO’s profit after tax stood at Rs 132 crore.

This brings the company’s H1 FY25 net profit to Rs 290 crore ($35 million), marking a turnaround from the Rs 91 crore net loss reported in the same period of the previous fiscal, the sources said.

In Q2 FY25, OYO’s revenue surged to Rs 1,578 crore, from Rs 1,413 crore in Q1.

OYO recently announced its acquisition of G6 Hospitality, a US-based economy lodging franchisor and parent company of the iconic Motel 6 and Studio 6 brands, from Blackstone for $525 million, in an all-cash transaction.

G6 Hospitality has nearly 1,500 economy lodging locations under the Motel 6 brand and the Studio 6 extended stay brand in the United States and Canada.
