HMVL Q1 FY27: Revenue Up 20% to ₹197 Crore, PAT Jumps 113% to ₹56 Crore
Hindustan Media Ventures Limited reported Q1 FY27 results with consolidated operating revenue up 20% YoY to ₹197 crore and PAT surging 113% YoY to ₹56 crore. EBITDA grew 109% to ₹75 crore. The company announced a preferential issue to strengthen its capital structure.
The strong financial performance and the strategic move of a preferential issue are positive developments for the company, impacting its financial health and investor confidence.
The company has reported strong year-on-year growth in revenue and PAT, along with significant improvement in EBITDA margins. The announcement of a preferential issue also indicates proactive financial management.
Hindustan Media Ventures Limited (HMVL) announced its un-audited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company reported a consolidated operating revenue of ₹197 crore, a significant increase of 20% compared to ₹165 crore in the same quarter last year. Profit After Tax (PAT) saw a substantial jump of 113%, reaching ₹56 crore from ₹26 crore in Q1 FY26.
The company's EBITDA also showed strong growth, increasing by 109% to ₹75 crore from ₹36 crore year-on-year, with the EBITDA margin expanding to 31% from 19% in the prior year period. This performance was driven by a 28% year-on-year decline in operating revenue for the Digital segment, which moderated during the quarter, and a 16% increase in the Print segment's operating revenue. The Print segment's advertising revenue grew by 15% to ₹295 crore and circulation revenue by 1% to ₹52 crore.
The Chairperson highlighted that while the financial year began on a steady note with revenue growth and improved profitability, concerns remain regarding elevated newsprint prices, a weaker rupee, and global supply-chain uncertainties. The company is proactively strengthening its capital structure through a preferential issue, subject to approvals.
As part of its strategic realignment, HMVL has sharpened its business footprint by surrendering licenses for non-viable FM radio frequencies, leading to a 25% sequential decline in radio operating revenue. The digital segment's revenue moderated due to deliberate portfolio resets aimed at driving sustainable and profitable growth.
