HT Media reported Q1 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹451 crore, up 6% year-on-year but down 23% sequentially. EBITDA improved 33% YoY to ₹10 crore, while losses narrowed significantly with PAT at -₹11 crore versus -₹28 crore last year. The Print business was the key growth driver, with English and Hindi ad revenues rising 19% and 14% YoY respectively, helped by higher government ad spending. Digital segment revenue grew 21% YoY to ₹56 crore with losses reducing. Radio continued to struggle with revenue down 13% YoY and EBITDA margin turning to -21%. Net cash position remained strong at ₹976 crore, up 14% YoY.
Positive near-term sentiment supported by narrowing losses, strong Print ad growth, and a robust net cash position of nearly ₹1,000 crore. However, weak Radio performance and steep sequential decline (Q4 had ₹100 crore EBITDA vs Q1's ₹10 crore) may concern investors looking at quarter-on-quarter trends.
