PVR Inox Reports Strong Q4 FY26 Results

PVR Inox, a leading multiplex chain in India, has reported strong results for the fourth quarter (Q4) of the fiscal year 2026 (FY26). On Monday, 11 May 2026, the company announced its Q4 FY26 results, achieving a consolidated net profit of ₹186.7 crore.

This is a significant turnaround from the net loss of ₹125 crore reported in Q4 FY25. The company's revenue rose 25.8% year-over-year to ₹1,547.3 crore. For the quarter ended March, PVR Inox reported a 56% year-over-year rise in Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) to ₹452 crore, compared to ₹289.4 crore in the same period last year.

The profit after tax (PAT) surged by 95% on a sequential basis compared to ₹96 crore in Q3 FY26, even though the revenue experienced a 16% quarter-on-quarter decline. It reached ₹1,850 crore in the October-December quarter of FY26.

PVR Inox attributed the strong Q4 results to the highest-ever fourth-quarter box office collections, driven by strong performances from films such as Dhurandhar – The Revenge, Border 2, and Project Hail Mary, among others. The company recorded 31 million admissions, a 2% year-over-year increase, and an average ticket price (ATP) of ₹315, up 22% year on year.

The company's business also credited the rise in admissions to a 27% boost in ticket sales, a 33% growth in Food & Beverage sales, and a 15% enhancement in Advertising revenue compared to the corresponding period last year.

In its announcement to the stock exchanges, PVR reported that the holding company had sold its entire 93.27% stake in its subsidiary, Zea Maize Private Ltd, for a total of ₹222 crore, and that Zea Maize Private Ltd is no longer a subsidiary of the company as of 29 January 2026.

As of the date of the sale, the carrying value of the subsidiary's net assets was ₹27 crore. The difference between the consideration received and the net assets, amounting to ₹195 crore, is categorised as an exceptional item in the consolidated financial statements.

During the year, the company continued to expand its footprint, adding 93 new screens while exiting 18 underperforming screens, bringing its total to 1,798 across 359 cinemas in 113 cities in India and Sri Lanka as of 31 March 2026.

PVR Inox remains optimistic about FY27, supported by a strong and diverse content pipeline. The company has 138 screens in the pipeline, including 52 under the FOCO model and 86 under the asset-light model.
