HT Media Group has announced a board meeting on the financial results for the quarter and half-year. Consolidated revenue grew 12% QoQ and 7% YoY; PAT surged 88% QoQ to INR 57 cr and turned positive INR 20 cr for the year. EBITDA increased 58%, aided by strong cash reserves (over INR 1000 cr). Print profitability rose 67% YoY with better margins from lower newsprint costs and higher ad yields despite volume softness. Radio revenue jumped 72% QoQ and 30% YoY but margins remain under pressure due to higher event costs. Digital revenue grew 35% QoQ and 38% YoY with reduced losses; break-even is targeted within the year, depending on scale. Management focuses on digital expansion, print stability, and margin gains, with investments aimed at long-term value.
