Network18 reported Q4 FY26 consolidated operating revenue of Rs. 616 crores, up 9.7% YoY despite macro-economic headwinds where the TV news industry faced a 10%+ decline in ad inventory. The company maintained its #1 TV news network position with 13.8% viewership share and grew its TV inventory by 4.5% YoY. FY26 full-year revenue grew 4.7% to Rs. 2,121 crores. Operating EBITDA for Q4 was Rs. 30 crore (4.9% margin), while FY26 EBITDA remained flat at Rs. 44 crore due to costs growing in line with revenue. New businesses including Moneycontrol Fintech and Creator18 showed impressive scale-up during the year. The company acquired News18 Marathi for Rs. 25 crores in October 2025, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary that will now merge with Network18.
The company demonstrated strong operational resilience by outperforming the struggling TV news advertising industry, though flat full-year EBITDA indicates margin pressure remains. The News18 Marathi merger streamlines corporate structure, and new digital businesses are gaining traction.
