Mishra for opening remarks, post which we can open the floor for Q&A. Thank you and over to
you Sir.
Rajesh Mishra: Thank you. Greetings everyone and thank you all for joining our Q1FY27 earnings call.
Q1 FY27 witnessed encouraging theatrical momentum. The quarter commenced with the
continued strong theatrical run of “Dhurandhar: The Revenge”, while films such as “Bhooth
Bangla” contributed to healthy audience engagement across key markets.
May maintained good theatrical momentum, led by the success of Malayalam film “Drishyam 3”,
along with the strong performance of Marathi film “Raja Shivaji”. While a few Hindi releases
delivered moderate box office performances, regional cinema continued to attract audiences and
highlighted the growing appeal of films across languages.
June concluded the quarter on a positive note, supported by the strong performance of “Welcome
to the Jungle”, “Main Vaapas Aaunga” and “Cocktail 2”. The diverse content slate helped sustain
audience interest and advertiser engagement during the quarter.
Overall, Q1 FY27 reflected encouraging theatrical trends for the industry, despite southern regional
cinema remaining subdued. The continuing blockbuster performance of “Dhurandhar: The
Revenge” along with performance of select Hindi and regional titles supported improved advertiser
participation, contributing to a 33% year-on-year growth in our advertisement revenues. Looking
ahead, a healthy pipeline of releases across languages, coupled with improving advertiser
sentiment, gives us confidence in the growth prospects of advertising over the coming quarters.
The quarter saw lesser number of movie releases. In total, 399 movies were released (including
versions/languages) during the quarter, compared to 456 in Q1FY26 and 459 in Q4FY26.
On the screen network front, our advertising footprint now stands at 3,891 screens, comprising
2,565 multiplex screens and 1,326 single screens.
Turning to the key figures for the quarter ended June 2026 –
Consolidated revenue for Q1 FY27 stood at ₹1,118 million, against ₹1,090 million in Q1 FY26
and ₹1,342 million in Q4 FY26.
EBITDA for the quarter was ₹189 million, as against ₹193 million in Q1 FY26 and ₹ 182 million
in Q4 FY26.
PAT stood at ₹56 million, compared with ₹65 million in Q1 FY26 and ₹45 million in Q4 FY26.
The consolidated cash at the end of the quarter was ₹ 1,462 million, and the net cash was ₹ 624
million after considering outstanding debt.
Looking ahead, Q2 FY27 has commenced on an encouraging note with the release of films such
as “Alpha”, “Dhamaal 4” and “Jana Nayagan”. The outlook for the remainder of the quarter
remains positive, supported by an exciting slate of upcoming releases, including “Batwara 1947”,
“Toxic”, “Haiwan”, “Awarapan 2” and others. With a healthy content pipeline and improving
industry sentiment, we remain confident about the theatrical business and our ability to capitalize
on the opportunities ahead.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our shareholders, exhibitors, advertisers, business
partners and employees for their continued trust and support.

With that, I would now like to open the floor for questions. My colleagues, Mr. Ashish Malushte,
Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Siddharth Bhardwaj, CEO, and I will be happy to answer your
questions.
Moderator: First question is from Mr. Shailesh Naik from SECODE. Please go ahead.
Shailesh Naik: Good performance in advertising this year. We have grown by 33%, which is a good achievement.
I just wanted to understand how much of this growth was driven by Dhurandhar, and what
contributed to the rest of the growth. That was my first question.
My second question is, could you please update me on our trade receivables? They were quite high
as of March 31. How have they progressed since then, and what has been the cash generation during
this quarter?
These are the two questions I have.
Siddharth Bhardwaj: Answering your first question on the extent to which the advertising performance can be attributed
to Dhurandhar, we would like to acknowledge that the spillover from Dhurandhar, which was
released towards the fag end of Q4 of the last financial year, continued into the first quarter.
It definitely helped us build the foundation for this quarter and for the current financial year. We
can certainly attribute a part of our advertising performance to the momentum created by
Dhurandhar.
More importantly, what it did was create a positive sentiment towards cinema at a very critical
juncture for the marketing fraternity. Towards the end of the financial year, most marketers are
planning their advertising budgets for the subsequent year. A film like Dhurandhar positively
influenced many of these decision-makers, which not only helped us but is also likely to benefit
the industry at large in terms of advertising revenues.
So, we believe the strong advertising performance can be attributed, to a significant extent, to the
positive momentum created by Dhurandhar.
I hope that answers the first part of your question. My colleague, Ashish, will take over the second
question.
Ashish Malushte: Your question on the debtors, so you're right, in the first quarter, the balance sheet numbers are not
required to be disclosed. But on the debtor front, the situation is a lot under comfort and control.
So, I just to give you a specific number, 31st March 26, the net debtors were Rs 93.5 crores for
Indian operations that have come down to Rs 89.4 crores as on 30th June.
Now, one bottom point to notic
