AI summary

HT Media reported a year of transformation with improved profitability despite flat revenue. Consolidated revenue for FY26 was ₹1,971 crore (0% YoY), while EBITDA rose 8% to ₹298 crore and PAT jumped 44% to ₹153 crore. Print segment drove growth with advertising revenue up 8% for the year, margin expanding to 23% in Q4 from 16% last year. Radio segment struggled with revenue down 32% for the year due to high prior-year base and industry headwinds, posting negative 16% EBITDA margin. Digital segment revenue was flat at ₹155 crore with continued losses; the company discontinued its OTTplay business as part of a profitability-focused reset. The company maintains a robust net cash position of ₹1,001 crore.

Likely market impact

The strong margin expansion and PAT growth indicate successful cost discipline and business optimization, which could be positive for shareholders despite stagnant top-line growth. The Radio business remains a concern with ongoing losses, while the Print turnaround appears sustainable.
