PVR Inox, a leading multiplex operator in India, reported a significant improvement in its financial performance for the March quarter of FY26. The company achieved a consolidated revenue of ₹1,547.3 crore, marking a 25.8% increase year-on-year, while EBITDA surged by 56.1% to ₹451.8 crore. Notably, PVR Inox returned to profitability with a profit after tax of ₹15 crore, compared to a loss of ₹120.8 crore in the same quarter last year. However, sequentially, the profit fell 85% from ₹100.3 crore. Analysts attribute this positive performance to a robust movie lineup, increased ticket prices, and higher food and beverage revenues, with average ticket prices rising 22.4% to ₹315 and F&B spend per head increasing 32.3% to ₹165. The company also reported a 27% rise in net box office collections to ₹818.5 crore. Looking ahead, PVR Inox plans to expand its operations by adding 120 new screens in FY27, primarily through asset-light formats. The company's net debt has decreased by nearly 90% since the merger with Inox, now standing at around ₹160 crore. Despite the optimistic outlook, analysts caution that the company's performance is heavily reliant on the quality of upcoming film releases.
