PVR has delivered one of its strongest financial performances in recent history, with Q4 FY26 results showing sharp growth across revenue, profitability, and footfall. The numbers signal a clear turnaround for the cinema exhibition giant.
In Q4 FY26, PVR reported total revenue of Rs 1,623.9 crore, up from Rs 1,288.5 crore in the same quarter last year, a growth of 26 percent. Operating revenue also rose significantly, from Rs 1,229.9 crore to Rs 1,547.3 crore, a gain of 25.8 percent. Net profit came in at Rs 186.7 crore, a massive swing from a net loss of Rs 125 crore in Q4 FY25, representing a change of 249.4 percent. It is worth noting that the profit figure was boosted in part by a one-time gain from the sale of its snacking brand 4700BC.
For the full financial year, PVR achieved its highest-ever annual revenue of Rs 67,426 million, marking 16 percent year-on-year growth. EBITDA doubled to Rs 9,680 million, with margins expanding to 14.4 percent. The company also posted a record profit after tax of Rs 3,868 million, turning profitable after reporting losses in the previous year. Total admissions for the year grew 9.6 percent to 150.1 million, which the company credited as the primary driver of overall revenue growth.
All Revenue Segments Grew Year on Year
Every major segment saw growth compared to Q4 FY25. Movie ticket revenue rose from Rs 644.7 crore to Rs 818.5 crore. Food and beverage revenue increased from Rs 361.2 crore to Rs 482 crore. Advertisement revenue grew from Rs 96.2 crore to Rs 110.4 crore, and convenience fees climbed from Rs 44.2 crore to Rs 57.9 crore. Only the “Others” segment saw a marginal dip, from Rs 116.3 crore to Rs 109 crore.
PVR set new benchmarks on the operational side as well. Average ticket price reached INR 280, the highest in company history, while food and beverage spend per head hit INR 147. Hindi cinema showed a strong comeback, with original Hindi film collections growing 55 percent year on year. The company also divested its snacking brand 4700BC for Rs 2,268 million, stating its intent to stay focused on its core cinema exhibition business.
PVR results reflect the broader recovery of the Indian cinema industry, driven by a stronger content pipeline and rising consumer spending on entertainment. With record admissions, higher ticket prices, and improved margins, the company appears to be in a solid position heading into FY27.
