Mumbai: PVR INOX reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 186.4 crore in Q4 FY26 against a loss of Rs 125.3 crore in the corresponding quarter last year, aided by exceptional gains and improved theatrical performance.
Revenue from operations rose 26 percent year-on-year to Rs 1,547 crore during the quarter. Compared with Rs 1,850 crore in Q3 FY26, Rs 1,229 crore in Q4 FY25 and annual revenue of Rs 6,646 crore for FY26, the multiplex operator’s performance reflected a recovery in cinema footfalls despite sequential moderation.
PVR INOX’s total income for the March quarter stood at Rs 1,624 crore, while total expenses came in at Rs 1,599 crore. The company posted profit before tax of Rs 20.8 crore compared with a loss before tax of Rs 163.2 crore a year ago.
Sequentially, however, revenue declined 16 percent from Rs 1,850 crore reported in Q3 FY26, reflecting softer content performance during the quarter.
The quarter included exceptional gains related to the sale of subsidiary Zea Maize Private Limited. PVR INOX said it disposed of its entire 93.27 percent stake in the subsidiary for Rs 222.1 crore, resulting in an exceptional gain of Rs 195.2 crore in consolidated results.
