Network18 Media & Investments Limited — Updates, 18-04-2025: Press Release

Network18 Media & Investments Limited delivered solid Q4 results, reinforcing its status as the #1 news network in India. The company's TV viewership share increased by 330 basis points year-over-year and 110 basis points quarter-over-quarter, supported by strong performances in regional markets. Notably, News18 Lokmat and News18 Bangla topped their respective segments, while News18 Kannada emerged as a strong second.

For the quarter, the News business generated operating revenue of ₹522 crore, a slight decline from the previous year due to a high base from election-related advertising. However, FY25 revenue showed resilience, climbing 4.3% to ₹1,896 crore despite a challenging advertising landscape. The network's operating expenses rose by 3%, impacting quarterly EBITDA, which fell significantly to ₹13 crore.

The company's digital platforms also performed well, with Moneycontrol leading as India’s #1 subscription-based financial service, boasting over 1 million paid subscribers and expanding its fintech offerings. Overall, Network18's diversified portfolio positions it well for future growth in a dynamic media landscape. Investors should monitor these developments closely for potential opportunities and challenges ahead.
