PVR INOX returns to profit as admissions, ticket prices and F&B spend rise
PVR INOX posted Q1FY27 net profit of Rs 56.5 crore versus a Rs 54.5 crore loss a year earlier. Revenue rose 11.9% to Rs 1,622 crore, while EBITDA climbed 31% and margin expanded 480 basis points to 32.6%.
PVR INOX returned to Q1FY27 profitability as admissions, ticket pricing and food-and-beverage spending lifted revenue and margins. The multiplex operator became net cash positive and expects a supportive FY27 content pipeline spanning franchise, star-led and regional films.
Why this matters
The profit turnaround follows recent PVR INOX signals on reaching Rs 1,622 crore in Q1 FY27 revenue, adding 100 screens in FY27 and planning nearly 1,000 screens over five years in tier-II and tier-III cities.
