Bodhi Tree Multimedia reported a 62% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to ₹795.85 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The content production company posted consolidated revenue from operations of ₹1,184.6 crore, marking a 32% increase compared to the previous fiscal year.

The growth was driven by strategic acquisitions and expansion into new verticals. Consolidated EBITDA surged 85% to ₹1,789 lakh, reflecting improved operational leverage across its television and digital portfolio. The company's net worth expanded significantly to ₹8,742.53 lakh on a consolidated basis, bolstered by a rights issue executed during the year.

Financial Performance

The consolidated results contrast with the standalone figures, where revenue declined by 12% to ₹541.84 lakh. Standalone net profit fell 36% to ₹335.69 lakh. This divergence highlights the impact of recent acquisitions, particularly Moving Image Studios Private Limited (MISPL), which was consolidated during the year.

Strategic Developments

The company acquired a controlling 50.01% stake in Moving Image Studios for ₹700.14 lakh, recognizing provisional goodwill of ₹417.03 lakh. Additionally, Bodhi Tree secured a 20% equity stake in Lehren Networks Private Limited through a share swap arrangement valued at ₹120 lakh. These moves align with the management's strategy to transition from commissioned production to an intellectual property-led model.

What the Numbers Show

While top-line growth was robust, the standalone segment faced headwinds. Standalone revenue from internet programs dropped 40% to ₹260.46 lakh, offsetting a 37% rise in commissioned television program revenue to ₹281.38 lakh. However, other income rose sharply to ₹296.34 lakh from ₹101 lakh, largely driven by interest income, which helped cushion the standalone bottom line despite higher finance costs of ₹335.68 lakh.

Balance Sheet Signals

The company raised ₹444.30 lakh through a rights issue, strengthening its equity base. Current borrowings stood at ₹3,419.63 lakh on a consolidated basis. Trade receivables increased to ₹2,648.63 lakh, indicating potential working capital deployment as production scales up. The debt-to-equity ratio improved to 0.39 from 0.64 in the previous year.

Bodhi Tree Multimedia Ltd reported a robust start to FY27, with consolidated total income rising 71.54% year-on-year to ₹31.58 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The production house and multi-genre content company saw its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) surge 160.60% to ₹4.07 crore, driven by healthy execution across projects and operating leverage as it scales its business.

Profit after tax (PAT) increased 64.84% to ₹0.78 crore, compared to ₹0.47 crore in Q1FY26. While PAT margins remained relatively flat at 2.48% against 2.58% in the prior year, management attributed the slight contraction to temporary cost-revenue timing differences. Several shows are in early production stages where costs are booked ahead of revenue recognition, a gap expected to normalise as titles near completion.

Financial Performance

The company’s financial results reflect significant top-line growth alongside improved operational efficiency. EBITDA margins expanded by 440 basis points to 12.88%, up from 8.48% in Q1FY26.

What the Numbers Show

A notable divergence exists between the company’s top-line growth and its bottom-line margin expansion. While revenue grew by over 70%, EBITDA more than doubled, indicating strong operating leverage. However, the PAT margin did not expand proportionally due to the aforementioned timing mismatch between cost incurrence and revenue recognition in early-stage productions. This suggests that while operational efficiency is improving at the EBITDA level, net profit visibility may remain constrained until these projects reach monetisation stages.

Regulatory Filings & Audit Review

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, in a meeting held on August 13, 2026. The Audit Committee reviewed the standalone financial results prior to board approval. Statutory auditors carried out a limited review of the results.

As per Regulation 47 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the financial results were published in the newspapers “Active Times” and “Mumbai Lakshdeep” on August 14, 2026. The detailed financial results along with the limited review reports are available on the websites of the stock exchanges and the company’s website.

Strategic Developments & Corporate Actions

Beyond financial metrics, Bodhi Tree Multimedia advanced its strategic pivot from commissioned production to an IP-led, multi-platform content ecosystem. Key developments include:

• Produced over 50 hours of original content across television, OTT, and digital platforms during the quarter.
• Secured a strategic mandate from the Government of Assam to develop and manage the state’s official digital content platform.
• Signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Government of Tripura to build the state’s digital media, creator economy, and technology infrastructure.
• Completed the acquisition of a 50.01% stake in Moving Images, making it a fully owned subsidiary to strengthen in-house unscripted production and accelerate IP creation capabilities.
• Acquired a 20% stake in Lehren Networks to access one of India’s largest vintage film-content libraries and strengthen digital monetisation via YouTube CMS.

Mautik Tolia, Managing Director and CEO, highlighted the robust demand for quality Indian IP, including regional content. He noted that while monetisation cycles for owned IP are longer and require sustained investment, this approach allows the company to participate across the full content lifecycle and build assets that compound in value over time.

The company continues to invest in technology-enabled creative workflows and AI-led initiatives to sharpen decision-making and accelerate story development. With a pipeline of five key title shows in various production stages, Bodhi Tree aims to sustain operational momentum through FY27.
