D.B.Corp Limited announced its unaudited financial results for Q1FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025). Total consolidated revenue declined 4.7% YoY to Rs. 5,872 million, and advertising revenue fell 7% YoY to Rs. 3,978 million (attributed to the high base from general elections in Q1FY25; like-for-like ad revenue grew at a high single-digit rate). Net profit dropped to Rs. 808 million from Rs. 1,179 million in Q1FY25, and EBITDA fell 27.5% YoY to Rs. 1,384 million. However, QoQ performance was much stronger: Print EBITDA margins expanded by 800 basis points QoQ to 31%, supported by soft newsprint prices (avg Rs. 47,100/MT) and disciplined cost control. The Board declared an interim dividend of Rs. 5 per equity share (50% on face value of Rs. 10) with a record date of July 23, 2025. The digital business continued to scale, with monthly active users reaching approximately 22 million by May 2025, up from 2 million in January 2020.
Negative headline numbers YoY due to a tough election-driven comparison base, but underlying QoQ margin expansion and continued digital growth signal operational strength. The Rs. 5 interim dividend offers near-term shareholder returns, though the YoY profit decline may weigh on short-term sentiment.
