Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Shemaroo Entertainment recorded consolidated revenue from operations of INR 131.68 crore (INR 1,317 million) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a 5.6% year-on-year decrease from INR 1,395 million in Q1 FY26. Total income stood at INR 132.30 crore.
The company reported a consolidated net loss after tax (PAT) of INR 8.07 crore (INR 81 million) for Q1 FY27, representing a narrowing of losses compared to a net loss of INR 458 million in Q1 FY26 and INR 720 million in Q4 FY26. Basic and diluted EPS for the quarter was INR -2.80.
EBITDA improved significantly by 96.7% year-on-year to a negative INR 1.80 crore (INR -18 million) with an EBITDA margin of -1.38%, compared to an EBITDA of negative INR 555 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. PBT for the period was negative INR 10.46 crore.
Divisional performance reflected contrasting trends: the digital media segment contracted by 17.3% year-on-year to INR 55.7 crore due to deferred B2B syndication deals resulting from geopolitical uncertainties and lumpy execution. Conversely, the traditional media segment grew 5.2% year-on-year to INR 76.0 crore, supported by selective B2B licensing closures.
The quarterly results included ongoing investments in new strategic initiatives, with expenses net of revenue totaling INR 19.6 crore (INR 196 million) impacting bottom-line profitability during Q1 FY27.
On the operating front, consumer-facing digital businesses showed resilience through fresh content rollouts, enhanced audience engagement, and better advertising monetization across YouTube and OTT platforms.
Profit after tax was ₹-8.07 Cr for the reported quarter. EPS was ₹-2.80 for the reported quarter.

Financial interpretation
What the reported numbers mean
Profit after tax represented -6.1% of reported quarterly operating revenue. This is a calculated net-profit-to-sales ratio, not a company-reported operating margin. It measures the outcome after expenses and tax; it does not, by itself, establish how margins changed versus another period.
Profit before tax was equivalent to -7.9% of quarterly operating revenue. The distinction between pre-tax and post-tax profit matters when interpreting earnings; neither ratio identifies an underlying cost driver without a properly matched comparative period.
Total income exceeded operating revenue by ₹0.61 crore. This is the disclosed difference between the two lines, not incremental sales. The distinction matters when assessing how much of the quarter’s reported income came from the operating top line.
Ratios above are calculated from the reported quarterly figures. They are analytical descriptions, not company-reported margin guidance or an investment recommendation.
04 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
