Prime Focus Limited has released its investor presentation for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 (Q1 FY27). The company reported a revenue of ₹1,267 crore for Q1 FY27, marking a significant year-on-year growth of 24%. This growth was primarily driven by the ramp-up in key tentpole projects.
The company's EBITDA also saw a corresponding growth of approximately 23.4% year-on-year, reaching ₹301 crore, with an EBITDA margin of 23.8%. While revenue saw a slight decline of 8.5% sequentially from Q4 FY26, this is attributed to Q4 typically being the strongest quarter due to summer releases. Personnel costs increased by approximately 29.4% year-on-year, reflecting the headcount expansion required for large-scale projects like Ramayana 1 and Dune 3.
Notably, Q1 FY26 had an exceptional foreign exchange gain of ₹159 crore. The current quarter's net profit, excluding exceptional items (primarily a settlement related to NCL T proceedings amounting to ₹66 crore), stood at ₹20 crore.
Prime Focus highlighted its strong order book and visible pipeline for FY27 and beyond, estimated at approximately $1 billion (₹4,676 crore). The Brahma AI division reported an annual revenue run-rate of approximately $100 million. Key developments for Brahma AI in Q1 FY27 include a strategic partnership with Hakuhodo Technologies for digital humans in Japan and APAC, and successful implementations at The Weather Channel and WNET in the United States. They also secured their first Southeast Asian customer with GMA in the Philippines and expanded their healthcare and sports industry engagements.
The company also detailed progress on its Prime Focus Studios ventures, including partnerships for upcoming animated films like 'The Angry Birds Movie 3', 'Animal Friends', and 'Cocomelon The Movie', as well as the ambitious 'Ramayana' project, which has secured global distribution partners including Sony Pictures. The company is also increasing its stake in 'Anima Kitchent' to 51% through a partnership with SETT.
