Zee Entertainment reported its audited financial results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, along with a recommended dividend of Rs. 2.43 per share. On a consolidated basis, FY25 revenue from operations fell to Rs. 84,175 million from Rs. 87,665 million in FY24 (about 4% decline), but profit after tax jumped sharply to Rs. 6,795 million from Rs. 1,414 million last year, mainly because FY24 had large one-time charges. The company booked Rs. 2,784 million in exceptional items this year, including a Rs. 809 million charge in Q4 tied to its Margo Networks subsidiary and merger-related costs. Standalone PAT rose to Rs. 7,013 million (FY24: Rs. 3,015 million). Operating cash flow stayed healthy at Rs. 9,364 million standalone. The statutory auditor, Walker Chandiok & Co LLP, issued a clean (unmodified) opinion but flagged two emphasis-of-matter issues: the ongoing SEBI investigation into certain vendor transactions and the Star India arbitration where Star is claiming damages of around USD 940 million.
Profitability improved sharply year-on-year because the prior year was weighed down by heavy one-off charges, but top-line revenue continues to shrink, which is a concern. The Rs. 2.43 dividend is modest. Investors should watch the Star India arbitration and SEBI investigation closely, as adverse outcomes could materially affect the stock.
