Saregama India Limited Q1 FY27
What went well
- Revenue from operations at ₹263.6 crores, with a 27% year-on-year growth.
- Adjusted EBITDA of ₹112.4 crores, showing a 69% year-on-year growth.
- Operational PBT at ₹70.5 crores, marking a 38% year-on-year growth.
What to watch
- Video vertical revenue declined by 52% to ₹17 crores, a conscious decision to wind down the films business.
- Music EBITDA margin for Q1 FY27 was down 1% YoY, attributed to a mix change towards lower-margin Artiste Management.
