Hindustan Media Ventures (HMVL) reported strong FY25 consolidated results with revenue from operations rising 4.1% YoY to ₹732.89 crore from ₹704.09 crore. Profit after tax jumped to ₹77.78 crore from just ₹9.95 crore in FY24, while EPS climbed to ₹10.56 from ₹1.35. EBITDA expanded sharply to ₹107.77 crore (vs ₹31.73 crore), with EBITDA margin improving to roughly 14.7% from 4.5%. The Printing & Publishing segment drove the turnaround, while Digital losses narrowed to ₹97.39 crore from ₹116.93 crore. The board approved a ₹7.71 crore investment in VIR Mobility Private Limited via equity/CCPS but did not recommend any dividend for FY25. Auditors S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP issued an unmodified opinion on both standalone and consolidated results.
Sharp profit recovery and EBITDA margin expansion signal improving operational health, which is positive for shareholders. However, the absence of a dividend may disappoint income-focused investors, though cash is being deployed toward a new mobility investment that could support future growth.
