OYO's loss narrows sequentially to Rs 333 Cr in Q2 FY23

Hospitality firm Oyo has logged a loss of Rs 333 crore in the quarter ending September 2022—down from Rs 414 crore in the previous quarter.

The company registered a 23% increase in gross booking value (GBV) per hotel in the last quarter compared to the previous quarter, it said in the second addendum, to its DRHP, dated Nov. 25.

OYO filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) for its Rs 8,000 crore public listing in October last year. Since then, the company's valuation has dipped to as low as $6.5 billion in the private market following reports of a markdown of the company's valuation by SoftBank.

The company’s Adjusted EBITDA grew 8X—from Rs 7 crore in Q1 to Rs 56 crore in Q2.
