Entertainment Network India Reports Q4 FY26 Results

Entertainment Network (India) Ltd announced its Q4 FY26 financial results, posting consolidated revenues of INR565 crore, a 3.9% increase compared to the previous year. Domestic revenues grew by 4% to INR548 crore.

Digital Growth Fuels Revenue Increase

The company's digital segment revenue surged by an impressive 84% year-on-year to INR112.4 crore, significantly contributing to the overall revenue growth. This digital momentum helped offset a slowdown in the traditional radio business, which faced challenges from subdued demand and macroeconomic uncertainties, compounded by geopolitical tensions. International operations were particularly affected by these external factors.

Gaana Targets Breakeven in FY27

Gaana, the company's digital music platform, showed strong user traction and revenue growth, increasing from INR61 crore in FY25 to INR112 crore in FY26. The platform is focusing on a subscription model and has set a target to achieve breakeven in the fiscal year 2027. The company also plans to continue improving operational efficiency and cost discipline within its digital operations.

Financial Health and Shareholder Returns

Entertainment Network India maintained a robust cash balance of INR424 crore as of March 31, 2026. The board recommended a dividend of INR2 per share for FY26, underscoring a commitment to shareholder returns.

Risks and Outlook

Macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges, especially those impacting the Middle East, continue to pose risks to the non-FCT (Free Commercial Time) and international radio segments. The company is also contesting an INR111 crore income tax notice for FY 2023-24. Investors will be closely watching Gaana's progress toward profitability and the company's ability to navigate ongoing economic and geopolitical challenges, as well as the outcome of the income tax appeal.
