Zee Entertainment's board approved audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and FY ended March 31, 2025, with auditors (Walker Chandiok & Co LLP) issuing an unmodified opinion. Standalone revenue declined to Rs 7,712 crore from Rs 8,075 crore in FY24, but profit after tax more than doubled to Rs 701 crore from Rs 302 crore, helped by lower exceptional items this year. Consolidated revenue dipped to Rs 8,294 crore while net profit surged to Rs 680 crore from Rs 141 crore in FY24. The board recommended a dividend of Rs 2.43 per share for FY25, subject to shareholder approval. The auditor flagged emphasis-of-matter items around the ongoing SEBI/MCA investigation into certain vendor transactions and the USD 940 million damages claim from Star India over the terminated ICC broadcasting rights agreement.
Strong profit growth driven by lower exceptional charges and cost controls should be positive for sentiment, but the 4-5% revenue decline and unresolved Star India arbitration (potentially ~Rs 8,000 crore liability if Zee loses) remain key overhangs. Dividend of Rs 2.43/share offers a modest yield, and the clean audit opinion is reassuring, though legal contingencies keep risk elevated.
