PVR INOX has delivered a strong financial turnaround for the first quarter of FY27, reporting a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹56.5 crore—a sharp recovery from the ₹54 crore loss recorded during the same period last year. Consolidated revenue for the multiplex operator grew 10.4% year-on-year to ₹1,622.2 crore, driven by a 20% jump in India’s total box office collections.
The quarterly performance was backed by a well-rounded content slate spanning Hindi, regional, and Hollywood releases. Key hits included Hindi titles like Bhoot Bangla and Cocktail 2, regional films such as Raja Shivaji and Drishyam 3, and Hollywood offerings like Project Hail Mary. Admissions rose 8% to 36.6 million, while Average Ticket Price (ATP) and Spend Per Head (SPH) increased to ₹273 and ₹161, respectively. Consequently, ticket sales grew 16% and food and beverage revenues climbed 17%.
Operating leverage significantly enhanced profitability, with EBITDA nearly doubling by 90% to ₹229.6 crore and margins expanding from 8.2% to 14%. Reaching a key financial milestone, the company turned net cash positive, holding ₹80.7 crore in net cash as of June 30, 2026.
Commenting on the results, Managing Director Ajay Bijli highlighted broad-based industry growth, improved operating metrics, and the benefits of a capital-light expansion model aimed at driving long-term shareholder value.
