Executive summary
Underlying business was described as broadly stable, with positive single-digit advertising and EBITDA growth after adjusting for the Navratri timing shift.
Priorities remain advertiser partnerships, reader engagement, efficiency, innovation and digital development across print, radio and digital.
Financial highlights
Q2 consolidated revenue was ₹614 crore versus ₹635 crore YoY; EBITDA was ₹124 crore versus ₹158 crore, and net profit was ₹69 crore versus ₹93 crore.

Q2 other income included a one-time ₹13.39 crore gain from terminating the Ahmedabad registered-office lease and derecognizing related lease balances.
Outlook and guidance
Full-year advertising ambition remains high-single-digit to early-double-digit revenue growth; management described this as an endeavor, with continuation of recent festival momentum uncertain.
Deferred festive-season revenue is expected to flow into Q3 FY27; management was optimistic on the next two quarters but cited geopolitical uncertainty and Rajasthan rain.
Supplier indications pointed to newsprint prices easing 2%-3% in Q3/Q4 versus Q2, with no larger reduction expected.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
