HT Media Group reported consolidated revenue growth of 15% year-on-year to Rs 497 crore, with EBITDA rising to Rs 90 crore and margin expansion of 12 points, while PAT improved to Rs 47 crore. Print segment advertising revenue grew 15% while circulation remained largely flat, and the company maintained a consolidated net cash position of Rs 922 crore. Management also discussed a board-approved preferential issue in HT Media Limited and Digicontent Limited intended to reduce debt, which drew extended questioning from shareholders regarding pricing and rationale.
HT Media Group reported flat consolidated revenue for FY26 with margin expansion, as Print advertising revenue grew on the back of yield improvement while Radio revenue declined on a high events-led base. The company discontinued its OTTplay digital business and surrendered non-viable Radio licenses during the year. Management stated other income declined due to mark-to-market impacts from rising bond yields on its treasury holdings.
