Zee Learn Q3 Results: Auditors Flag Rs 753 Cr Recoverable and Rs 663 Cr Debt Risks

🔴 NEGATIVE ⭐ 9/10

EARNINGS 📅 10 Feb 2026, 06:53 PM

Zee Learn Limited reported its Q3 FY26 results, which are overshadowed by a qualified opinion from statutory auditors regarding massive financial liabilities. The company faces an outstanding debt of Rs 66,261.87 lakhs to ACRE after a previous settlement agreement was terminated due to payment defaults. Furthermore, auditors have questioned the lack of impairment testing for Rs 75,334.42 lakhs listed as recoverable from four trusts. The board is also seeking shareholder approval to re-price existing ESOPs and regularize director appointments.

Outstanding amount payable to ACRE reached Rs 66,261.87 lakhs as of December 31, 2025, following the termination of a prior settlement.
Company reports Rs 75,334.42 lakhs as 'other current financial assets' recoverable from four trusts, but auditors note no impairment assessment was conducted.

Board approved a proposal for the re-pricing of outstanding Employee Stock Options (ESOPs) subject to member approval.
Legal proceedings under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) have seen various stays and withdrawals following supplemental facility agreements.

Outstanding credit facilities assigned to ACRE stand at ₹662.62 crore as of December 31, 2025.
Board approved a postal ballot for the re-pricing of outstanding Employee Stock Options (ESOPs).
