DB Corp reported Q4 FY25 revenue of Rs. 5,668 million, down from Rs. 6,418 million a year ago, hit by a high election base and weak government ad spending which fell around 25% YoY. Full-year FY25 revenue stood at Rs. 24,212 million with EBITDA margin of 26% and net profit of Rs. 3,710 million (38% three-year CAGR). The 'Jeeto 14 Crores' reader scheme helped lift circulation by around 2% to roughly 40 lakh copies, while digital MAUs reached 19.6 million (internal target 50 million). Management highlighted double-digit ad growth in April 2025 partly due to a base effect, favorable newsprint prices down 4% YoY at Rs. 47,500/tonne, and a higher dividend payout of 58% versus 55% last year.
Near-term weakness is largely base-effect driven and management expects growth to return in coming quarters, supported by recovery signs in April and government ad normalization. However, weak ad yields, high other expenses from circulation and digital promotions, and no concrete monetization roadmap for digital may cap upside until a stronger demand revival materializes.
