Hindustan Media Ventures Limited — Investor Meet, 03-06-2026: Analysts/Institutional Investor Meet/Con. Call Updates

HT Media Group's Q4 FY26 call signals a strategic pivot. Consolidated Q4 revenue hit INR 558 crore (down 2%), but EBITDA jumped 5% to INR 131 crore, with margins expanding 100 basis points. Print business saw strong ad revenue growth (up 10% to INR 313 crore) driven by pricing power. Circulation revenue also rose 4% on higher copies.

Management confirmed exiting loss-making 'OTTplay' and surrendering non-viable Radio licenses, focusing on profitability. No further exceptional losses are anticipated from these moves. Investments will now prioritize the core Print business and promising Digital ventures, aiming for long-term shareholder value. The company maintains a robust net cash position over INR 1,000 crore.
