Cyber Media (India) Limited reported a significant improvement in profitability for the first quarter of FY27, with consolidated net profit attributable to owners rising to ₹72.74 lakh compared to ₹28.10 lakh in Q1FY26. This represents a year-on-year increase of approximately 159%, driven by robust revenue growth and operational efficiency. Total income for the quarter reached ₹5,111.82 lakh, up from ₹2,607.55 lakh in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The performance underscores the effectiveness of the company’s strategic focus on high-growth digital segments following recent capital restructuring.

The Board of Directors, at a meeting held on July 24, 2026, approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee on July 21, 2026, and subjected to limited review by the statutory auditor, S. Agarwal & Co., in compliance with Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Additionally, based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board appointed Mrs. Geetika Dayal as an Additional Director and Non-Executive Independent Director for a term of five consecutive years, effective August 01, 2026, subject to shareholder approval.

Segment Performance

The surge in top-line revenue was largely fueled by the Digital Services segment, which recorded income from operations of ₹4,630.31 lakh in Q1FY27, a substantial increase from ₹2,209.00 lakh in Q1FY26. In contrast, the Media Services segment contributed ₹410.27 lakh, slightly higher than the ₹375.52 lakh reported in the prior year period. Consequently, total segment revenue stood at ₹5,040.57 lakh. The Digital Services segment also delivered stronger operating results, with segment profit reaching ₹194.71 lakh compared to ₹127.79 lakh in Q1FY26. Meanwhile, Media Services segment profit was ₹41.58 lakh, up from ₹24.46 lakh in the previous year.

Despite the revenue growth, total expenses increased to ₹4,904.26 lakh from ₹2,477.38 lakh in Q1FY26, primarily due to higher direct expenses which rose to ₹4,404.88 lakh from ₹1,932.46 lakh. Employee benefit expenses decreased slightly to ₹353.08 lakh from ₹399.39 lakh. Finance costs remained relatively stable at ₹28.73 lakh. Profit before tax stood at ₹207.55 lakh, compared to ₹130.17 lakh in the same quarter last year.

What the Numbers Show

A notable aspect of the Q1FY27 performance is the disproportionate contribution of the Digital Services segment to both revenue and profitability. While Digital Services accounted for approximately 92% of total segment revenue, it generated roughly 82% of the pre-tax profit before interest adjustments. This indicates that while the segment is driving volume growth, the Media Services segment maintains a higher relative margin contribution per unit of revenue. Furthermore, management noted that the Q1 performance was stronger than planned due to additional uplift from one-off projects, cautioning that this may not be indicative of forward-looking trends. The company has also completed the forfeiture of 1,71,329 partly paid-up equity shares from its earlier right issue, where holders failed to pay call money of ₹7.90 per share.

Standalone Results and Corporate Actions

On a standalone basis, Cyber Media (India) Limited reported a net profit of ₹18.06 lakh for the quarter, compared to ₹2.98 lakh in Q1FY26. Standalone revenue from operations was ₹410.27 lakh, identical to the Media Services segment revenue, as the standalone entity does not report Digital Services operations directly. The company also disclosed details regarding its right issue undertaken during the previous fiscal. Of the total issue size of 62,86,897 equity shares at ₹15.80 per share, 51,62,479 shares were subscribed. The company utilized ₹802.14 lakh of the subscribed proceeds for working capital requirements, conversion of outstanding loans, general corporate purposes, and issue-related expenses, with no deviation from the stated objects.
