HT Media Limited reported consolidated revenue from continuing operations of INR 1,80,331 lakh for FY26, up 3.3% from INR 1,74,584 lakh in FY25. EBITDA from continuing operations grew 8.3% to INR 29,842 lakh, expanding the margin to 16.6% from 15.8%. However, profit after tax from continuing operations dropped sharply to INR 3,862 lakh from INR 10,000 lakh due to INR 11,423 lakh in exceptional items. These included impairment of radio and digital assets (INR 3,938 lakh), statutory impact of new Labour Codes (INR 4,054 lakh), and loss on radio license surrender (INR 3,316 lakh). After accounting for a discontinued OTTplay business (loss of INR 8,769 lakh), the company posted a net loss of INR 4,907 lakh vs a profit of INR 1,420 lakh in FY25. The company also approved investing up to INR 5 crore in Mosaic Media Ventures, a wholly-owned subsidiary.
HT Media swung to a net loss on heavy exceptional charges despite modest revenue growth and EBITDA expansion. The stock faces pressure from the discontinued OTTplay operations and large impairments, though the core printing business and EBITDA margin improvement are positives.
