Hindustan Media Ventures Limited reported stable total revenue of ₹831 crore for FY26, flat versus prior year. However, operating revenue grew 10% to ₹740 crore, driven by 8% growth in advertising revenue across English and Hindi print mastheads. EBITDA improved to ₹204 crore (up 3%) with margin expanding from 24% to 25% for the full year. Q4 showed stronger operating revenue growth of 19% to ₹216 crore with EBITDA margin at 35%. PAT declined 5% to ₹157 crore for FY26, impacted by lower other income. The Print segment was the standout performer with 8% ad revenue growth and 82% EBITDA improvement for the year. Radio continues to face headwinds with 32% revenue decline and negative EBITDA margins. The company maintained robust net cash of ₹1,001 crore.
The margin expansion demonstrates successful cost discipline despite revenue headwinds. The strong print performance is offset by continued Radio losses. The healthy cash position provides strategic flexibility. Investors should monitor newsprint cost pressures and Radio turnaround progress.
