Management Comments
Mr. Ashish Kanakia
CEO of Cineline India Limited
Over the past three years since launching our film exhibition business, we have surpassed INR 200 crores in revenue, marking a 2X increase in revenue and a 4X growth in EBITDA compared to our first year. We have enhanced operational efficiency by renegotiating lease terms with developers and exiting underperforming screens to optimize costs which has helped us improve our profitability. We have successfully completed the sale of our hotel asset for an enterprise valuation of INR 270 Crores, allowing us to fully concentrate on expanding our core film exhibition business. This move will accelerate growth and help expand our market presence through addition of new screens. With debt of INR 228 fully repaid, we have strengthened our financial position which will be reinvested to drive business growth.
