AI summary

HT Media Limited reported broadly stable full-year consolidated revenue of INR 1,971 crore, but delivered meaningful profitability improvement. EBITDA margin expanded from 14% to 15% for the full year and from 22% to 23% in Q4. PAT surged 44% year-on-year to INR 153 crore, with PAT margin rising to 8% from 5%, driven largely by a strong Print segment where ad revenue grew 8% annually and operating EBITDA margin jumped to 14% from 8%. Radio business was a drag, with revenue falling 32% for the year and the segment posting a -16% operating EBITDA margin due to a high prior-year events base and industry headwinds. The company maintained a robust net cash position of INR 1,001 crore. Management flagged rising newsprint costs and rupee weakness as near-term concerns to monitor.

Likely market impact

The stock should react positively to the strong bottom-line recovery — PAT grew 44% and margins expanded across consolidated results — though the flat revenue growth and struggling Radio business temper enthusiasm.
