Abstract
The hospitality sector has been one of the worst-hit industries due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by nationwide lockdowns and curfews. Further, other factors, including the Russia-Ukraine war, commodity price rise, and recession, have acted as hurdles in the slow recovery process. Policy experts at different forums have advocated for proactive and robust measures by the government to reduce adverse impacts during these unprecedented times. To design such measures, determining the firm-specific factors that significantly impact their profitability is essential. In this context, this study tries to understand firm-specific factors that affect the hospitality sector's performance in India. It also explores whether the firm-specific characteristics have changed over time due to changes in political regimes and differ between private and publicly listed companies. Using a sample of 440 public and private hospitality firms for 11 years (2010-2020) and after controlling for unobserved heterogeneity using firm fixed effects, we tested the relationship between firm characteristics and performance. The estimation results demonstrate that the net asset turnover, liquidity, foreign earnings intensity, and age have significant, positive impacts on profitability. In contrast, solvency and size have negatively impacted firm performance. Further, we found differences in the magnitudes of coefficients for private and publicly listed companies. The findings provide important implications for managers and regulators to stimulate new solutions to overcome the ongoing difficult period.
