Aug 10: Imagicaaworld Entertainment Limited , India’s largest amusement and water park player, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company reported a strong operational and financial performance, with Revenue from Operations growing 19.9% YoY to ₹17,760 lakhs, driven by robust footfall growth supported by an extended summer season and healthy demand across its parks. EBITDA increased 24.1% YoY to ₹9,010 lakhs, with EBITDA margins improving by 170 basis points to 50.7%, while Profit After Tax (PAT) rose 29.9% YoY to ₹5,757 lakhs, reflecting improved operational efficiency and profitability. During the quarter, the company also recorded a 22% increase in footfalls to 11.54 lakh visitors, while maintaining a stable Average Revenue Per User (ARPU).
During the quarter, Imagicaaworld Entertainment Limited continued to strengthen its long-term growth strategy through strategic investments and expansion initiatives. The company announced an investment of ₹50 crores to acquire a 50.002% stake in Mehsana Next Parks Private Limited (MNPPL), the Special Purpose Vehicle that owns and operates Shanku’s Water Park in Gujarat, while also undertaking its Operations & Maintenance (O&M). Further expanding its indoor entertainment portfolio, the company signed Letters of Intent (LOIs) for two Hello Park locations—its first in Hyderabad at Lake Shore Y Junction Mall, spanning approximately 10,000 sq. ft. and targeted to open before the year-end festive season, and its second in Surat at Phoenix Mall’s upcoming development, spanning approximately 9,000 sq. ft., reinforcing the company’s growing footprint in the family entertainment segment.
Commenting on the Q1 FY27 performance, Jai Malpani, Managing Director, Imagicaaworld Entertainment Limited said, “We have begun FY27 on a strong note, delivering a 20% year-on-year growth in revenue to Rs. 17,760 lakhs during the first quarter. The performance was driven by healthy demand across all our catchments, supported by strong footfalls during the peak holiday season and the benefit of an extended summer.
We have further strengthened our presence in Gujarat by acquiring an 50% stake in Shanku’s Water Park through an investment of around Rs. 50 crores. As Gujarat’s largest water park, this acquisition is a strategic addition to our portfolio and further expands our footprint in one of India’s fastest-growing leisure markets. We also intend to rebrand the park as Aqua Imagicaa, leveraging the strong brand recall and customer connect that Imagicaa has built over the years.
We are equally excited about our entry into the indoor entertainment segment through Hello Park. Our first centre in Hyderabad is on track to commence operations by the end of this year, and we have also finalized our second location at Phoenix Mall in Surat. We believe this format will complement our existing outdoor parks, enable year-round customer engagement and open up a scalable growth opportunity across urban markets.
With a growing portfolio spanning destination parks, regional water parks, indoor entertainment and experiential attractions, we are building a diversified entertainment platform that reduces seasonality, broadens our revenue base and strengthens our long-term growth prospects. We remain confident about the opportunities ahead and look forward to sustaining this momentum through the rest of the year.”
