Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd announced the outcome of its Board Meeting held on August 4, 2026. The Board approved the Un-Audited Financial Results (Standalone & Consolidated) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The Limited Review Report from S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP on these results was also taken on record. The approved financial results and the review report have been enclosed with the filing and are also available on the company's website.

Hindustan Media Ventures reported consolidated PAT (continuing + discontinued operations) of ₹51.17 Cr for Q1 FY27, up from ₹10.24 Cr a year ago and ₹27.48 Cr last quarter, while revenue from operations rose just 7.8% YoY to ₹197.18 Cr (and fell 8.5% QoQ from the seasonally stronger Q4). Standalone PAT of ₹50.87 Cr and EPS of ₹6.90 track the consolidated ₹51.17 Cr / ₹6.95 within 1%, so the two bases tell the same story this quarter. The PAT surge is almost entirely a non-operating story: other income jumped to ₹46.88 Cr from ₹26.72 Cr a year ago (+75%) and ₹13.96 Cr last quarter (+236%), while the filing does not break out its composition. Stripped of other income, operating profit (revenue less operating expenses) was ₹22.22 Cr this quarter versus ₹3.30 Cr a year ago (a low base) but down sharply from ₹59.15 Cr in Q4 FY26 — so the core print business did not repeat its prior-quarter operating strength even as reported NPM (on total income) rose to ~21% from ~5% YoY. No consensus/street estimates for this small-cap print name turned up in search, so vsStreet is unknown; there is no formal quantitative guidance on record either, but management's qualitative outlook from the Q4 FY26 call — continued print-yield-led revenue strength and no further exceptional losses from discontinued operations — held up: revenue grew (modestly) and both continuing and discontinued segments posted nil exceptional items this quarter, versus ₹10.4 Cr of combined exceptional losses in Q4 FY26. The OTTplay wind-down (discontinued since March 2026) continues to shrink: its net loss narrowed to ₹4.46 Cr from ₹34.40 Cr in Q4 FY26 and ₹15.83 Cr a year ago, tracking toward completion. Separately, the quarter saw the Mathew Cyriac Group acquire a 2.06% stake (Jul 25, 2026) and the trading window close ahead of Q2 FY27 (Jun 29, 2026); these sit alongside, but are not shown in this filing as connected to, the other-income jump. No management press release/MD&A commentary was available in the context to corroborate the drivers of the other-income line, which remains the key unresolved item for next quarter.
