Raj Television Network Limited has submitted its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, to the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India. The Board of Directors approved the results at a meeting held on August 11, 2026, following recommendations from the Audit Committee.

The submission was made in accordance with Regulation 30 and Regulation 47 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company published extracts of the results in "Trinity Mirror" and "Makkal Kural" on August 12, 2026.

Regulatory Compliance

Raj Television Network Limited confirmed that the unaudited financial results, along with the Statutory Auditors' Limited Review Report, are hosted on its official website. The filing satisfies the mandatory disclosure requirements under Regulation 33 read with Regulation 47(1) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.

Managing Director Raajhendhran M signed the communication, which was countersigned by Company Secretary and Compliance Officer Priyanka Mudaliyar. The document references the company's Corporate Identity Number (CIN) L92490TN1994PLC027709 and registered office in Chennai.

Raj Television Network Limited reported a net loss of ₹10.08 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, widening significantly from a net profit of ₹3.50 million in the corresponding quarter of FY25. The company’s revenue from operations contracted by 9.7% year-on-year to ₹149.68 million, driven by lower operational income that failed to offset stable cost structures. This marks a sharp reversal in profitability for the media and entertainment firm, which operates commercial satellite television channels.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results and the Auditor’s Limited Review Report on August 11, 2026. The results were reviewed in accordance with Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2410 and Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. N Naresh & Co, the independent auditors, issued their report confirming no material misstatement in the standalone results.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations stood at ₹149.68 million in Q1FY26, down from ₹165.68 million in Q1FY25. Total expenses remained relatively flat at ₹161.55 million compared to ₹161.63 million in the prior year quarter, indicating limited flexibility in cost reduction amidst falling top-line growth. Consequently, the company incurred a loss from ordinary activities before tax of ₹11.87 million, compared to a profit of ₹5.14 million in the previous year.

Other income was nil in the current quarter, compared to ₹1.08 million in Q1FY25. Finance costs decreased slightly to ₹6.11 million from ₹7.47 million, while employee benefits expense dropped to ₹36.20 million from ₹40.53 million. However, these savings were insufficient to counteract the decline in operational revenue.

Corporate Governance Update

In addition to the financial results, the Board approved the re-appointment of Mrs. Bharathi Sridhar (DIN: 09354983) as an Independent Director for a second term of five years. Her new term will commence on April 01, 2027, succeeding her present term which expires on March 31, 2027. The appointment is subject to shareholder approval and was recommended by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Mrs. Sridhar brings over two decades of experience in the media and entertainment industry.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue contraction and static total expenses highlights structural rigidity in the company’s cost base. While employee benefits and finance costs saw modest declines, they did not scale down proportionally with the nearly 10% drop in revenue. This suggests that fixed operational commitments are absorbing a larger share of incoming funds, pressuring margins. The absence of other income further exacerbated the bottom-line impact, turning a profitable quarter into a significant loss position.
