Rs 47 Cr PAT in Q1 FY27; HT Media Reports 15% Revenue Growth and 3x EBITDA Jump
HT Media reported a strong turnaround in Q1 FY27, with consolidated revenue growing 15% YoY to Rs 497 Cr. Profitability improved significantly as PAT reached Rs 47 Cr, driven by a 15% growth in print advertising revenue (Rs 295 Cr) and a 12-point EBITDA margin expansion to 18%. Management highlighted a robust net cash position of Rs 922 Cr, yet faced shareholder scrutiny regarding a proposed preferential issue priced at ~Rs 24, significantly below the book value of ~Rs 70. The digital segment saw a 28% revenue decline as the company deliberately resets the portfolio for long-term profitability.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe company has transitioned from a loss-making period (TTM PAT of Rs -50 Cr) to a profitable quarter (Rs 47 Cr PAT) through cost discipline and print advertising growth.
Why it mattersThe turnaround indicates that the core print business remains a strong cash generator, but the proposed fundraise at a discount to book value suggests a strategic shift or debt restructuring despite high existing cash reserves.

📅 Short termThe stock may see positive sentiment due to the sharp earnings recovery and margin expansion, though the dilution concerns from the preferential issue may cap gains.
📈 Long termThe company's ability to sustain print margins while pivoting the digital segment (OTTplay) to profitability will determine long-term value, especially given the high cash-to-market-cap ratio.
⚠ Risk flags
- Equity dilution of 15% via preferential issue
- Pricing of new issue at a ~65% discount to book value
- Newsprint price volatility and weak rupee impact
- Continued revenue decline in the digital segment (-28%)
Key Highlights
Consolidated revenue increased 15% YoY to Rs 497 Cr for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
EBITDA grew nearly 3x to Rs 90 Cr, resulting in a PAT of Rs 47 Cr compared to historical losses.
Print advertising revenue rose 15% YoY to Rs 295 Cr, while English circulation revenue grew 14% to Rs 13 Cr.
Employee costs were reduced by 11% YoY to Rs 99 Cr from Rs 111 Cr through organizational right-sizing.

👀 What to Watch
Investors should monitor the regulatory and shareholder approval process for the proposed preferential issue, specifically the impact of the 15% equity dilution. Additionally, watch for the stabilization of the digital segment following its 28% revenue reset and the impact of newsprint price volatility on future margins.
