Cyber Media FY26 Results: Consolidated net profit turns positive

cyber media returned to profitability in FY26, reporting a consolidated net profit of ₹3.90 crore compared to a net loss of ₹9.73 crore in FY25. The turnaround was underpinned by a 19.08% year-on-year increase in consolidated revenue from operations, which rose to ₹103.27 crore from ₹86.72 crore. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) surged by 709.64% to ₹6.72 crore, reflecting improved operational efficiency and cost management across its media and digital services segments.

The Board of Directors did not recommend a dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, citing inadequate profits. Shareholders will vote on the adoption of audited financial statements and the re-appointment of Pradeep Gupta as director at the 44th Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 25, 2026. The meeting will also consider the appointment of Geetika Dayal as an Independent Director for a term of five years.

Financial Performance

The company’s standalone revenue from operations increased by 16.11% to ₹13.12 crore, while standalone EBITDA turned positive at ₹1.98 crore against a loss of ₹2.15 crore in the prior year. Standalone net profit stood at ₹0.55 crore, reversing a net loss of ₹11.92 crore in FY25. Key financial metrics are detailed below:

Metric	Consolidated FY26	Consolidated FY25	Standalone FY26	Standalone FY25
Revenue from Operations (₹ crore)	103.27	86.72	13.12	11.30
EBITDA (₹ crore)	6.72	0.83	1.98	(2.15)
Net Profit/Loss (₹ crore)	3.90	(9.73)	0.55	(11.92)

Segment and Operational Highlights

Digital Services remained the primary revenue driver, contributing ₹91.60 crore to the consolidated total, up from ₹75.94 crore in FY25. The Media Services segment reported income of ₹14.63 crore. Management attributed the improved results to robust subscription services growth and strategic partnerships with major technology firms. The company also highlighted increased efficiency through AI-driven systems and better asset utilization, including leasing space to Canara Bank and Indian Bank.

Strategic Developments

During FY26, the company completed a rights issue aggregating to ₹9.90 crore by allotting 49,53,415 fully paid-up equity shares. A scheme of merger between Cyber Media (India) Limited and its subsidiary, Cyber Media Research & Services Limited, is currently pending approval from SEBI and stock exchanges. The Board approved a fresh draft scheme in January 2026 after an earlier application was withdrawn due to procedural timelines.

What the Numbers Show

The most significant aspect of the FY26 results is the divergence between standalone and consolidated profitability. While the parent entity achieved a modest standalone net profit of ₹0.55 crore, the consolidated group delivered a substantially higher net profit of ₹3.90 crore. This indicates that the subsidiaries, particularly Cyber Media Research & Services Limited, were the primary engines of value creation this year. The surge in consolidated EBITDA margin from 0.96% in FY25 to 6.51% in FY26 further underscores that the turnaround was driven by operational leverage within the group structure rather than just top-line growth at the holding company level.

Cyber Media (India) Limited reported a 46% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to ₹162.61 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by robust revenue growth in its Digital Services segment. Total income from operations surged to ₹5,111.82 lakh from ₹2,607.55 lakh in Q1FY26. The performance highlights the company’s strategic shift towards high-growth digital segments following recent capital restructuring, with the Digital Services segment contributing approximately 92% of total segment revenue.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on July 24, 2026, after review by the Audit Committee on July 21, 2026. The results were subjected to limited review by statutory auditor S. Agarwal & Co., in compliance with Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Newspaper advertisements were published in 'Financial Express' and 'Jansatta' on July 25, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Regulation 47.

Segment Performance

The Digital Services segment was the primary growth engine, contributing ₹4,630.31 lakh in revenue compared to ₹2,209.00 lakh in the previous year. This segment delivered a segment result of ₹194.71 lakh. The Media Services segment contributed ₹410.27 lakh in revenue with a segment result of ₹41.58 lakh. Total segment revenue stood at ₹5,040.57 lakh.

Segment	Revenue (₹ Lakh)	Segment Result (₹ Lakh)
Digital Services	4,630.31	194.71
Media Services	410.27	41.58
Total	5,040.57	236.29

Total expenses rose to ₹4,904.26 lakh from ₹2,477.38 lakh in Q1FY26, largely due to higher direct expenses of ₹4,404.88 lakh. Employee benefit expenses decreased to ₹353.08 lakh. Profit before tax increased to ₹207.55 lakh from ₹130.17 lakh.

Standalone Results

On a standalone basis, Cyber Media reported total revenue of ₹477.35 lakh, up from ₹395.32 lakh in Q1FY26. Standalone profit before tax stood at ₹18.06 lakh, compared to ₹2.98 lakh in the corresponding period last year. Earnings per share (basic) were ₹0.78 for the quarter.

What the Numbers Show

The disproportionate contribution of the Digital Services segment underscores the company’s successful pivot away from traditional media. While the Media Services segment maintains higher relative margins per unit of revenue, the volume growth in digital operations is driving overall profitability. Management noted that Q1 performance benefited from one-off projects, cautioning that this may not be indicative of forward-looking trends. The company also completed the forfeiture of 1,71,329 partly paid-up equity shares from its earlier right issue.
