Cinevista Q1 FY27 Revenue Rises 62% Ahead of Q2

Q2 FY27 results are scheduled for October 27

Cinevista Ltd is scheduled to announce its financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, on October 27, 2026. The company has informed exchanges that its Board of Directors will meet on that date to consider and approve the unaudited results and the limited review report. The announcement follows Cinevista's first-quarter FY27 release on August 12, 2026. Its latest reported quarter showed revenue growth from a relatively low base, while profitability remained broadly stable year-on-year. Investors will assess the September-quarter release for continuity in revenue, costs and margins. The results will also provide the first half-year financial picture for FY27.

Q1 FY27 revenue was about Rs 7.5 crore

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Cinevista reported revenue of Rs 74.896 million, equivalent to approximately Rs 7.49 crore. Another results summary rounded the quarterly revenue figure to Rs 7 crore. Revenue was up 61.9% year-on-year and 2.61% quarter-on-quarter, according to the data provided. The company had reported revenue of Rs 4.63 crore in the June 2025 quarter. Revenue in the preceding March 2026 quarter was Rs 7.30 crore. The latest figure therefore indicates a modest sequential increase alongside stronger year-on-year growth.

Net profit rose sequentially in the June quarter

Cinevista reported Q1 FY27 net income of Rs 10.011 million, or about Rs 1 crore. Net profit was nearly flat year-on-year, with reported growth of 1.01%. Sequentially, net income increased from Rs 8.152 million in the March 2026 quarter to Rs 10.011 million in the June quarter. This represented quarter-on-quarter growth of 23.46%. Earnings per share for Q1 FY27 stood at Rs 0.17. The reported profit figure is consistent with the company remaining profitable after its turnaround from losses in earlier periods.

Higher expenses reduced the profit margin

The Q1 FY27 profit margin was reported at 13%, compared with 22% in the corresponding quarter a year earlier. The results summary attributed the margin decline to higher expenses. Quarterly expenses were Rs 5.16 crore in June 2026, compared with Rs 4.19 crore in March 2026. Operating profit stood at Rs 2.33 crore in the June quarter, versus Rs 3.11 crore in the preceding quarter. The operating profit margin was 31.11%, down from 42.60% in March 2026. These figures show that revenue growth did not translate into a similar expansion in operating profitability.

Recent quarterly trend shows a return to profit

Cinevista's quarterly numbers have varied significantly over the past several quarters. Sales were Rs 11.47 crore in the March 2025 quarter, when expenses reached Rs 26.60 crore and operating profit was negative Rs 15.13 crore. The company returned to operating profit in the June 2025 quarter, reporting sales of Rs 4.63 crore and operating profit of Rs 1.94 crore. Sales were Rs 3.79 crore in September 2025, Rs 8.25 crore in December 2025 and Rs 7.30 crore in March 2026. The June 2026 revenue of Rs 7.49 crore continued this positive-sales period. However, the movement in expenses and margins remains an important part of the quarterly review.

Key reported financial figures

Real estate contributed strongly in an earlier quarter

Cinevista had earlier reported improved Q2 FY26 performance, with revenue from operations of Rs 379.15 lakh, or about Rs 3.79 crore. Profit after tax for that quarter was Rs 77.15 lakh, or about Rs 0.77 crore. The real estate segment was identified as the main contributor, generating Rs 377.19 lakh in revenue. The company’s financial statements include segment reporting for its Media and Real Estate businesses. This segment structure is relevant when reviewing quarterly revenue movements. Detailed segment disclosures in the upcoming results will be important for understanding the source of any change in sales or profitability.

Trading window closed ahead of the announcement

Cinevista closed its trading window for designated employees and their immediate relatives from October 1, 2026. The restriction relates to the financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The company cited compliance with SEBI insider trading regulations. The trading window is set to reopen 48 hours after the financial results are announced to stock exchanges. Such closures are a standard governance measure before the release of unpublished price-sensitive information. The October 27 board meeting is therefore the next confirmed corporate event for investors tracking the company.

What investors can track in the Q2 release

The September-quarter results will show whether Cinevista maintained the revenue level seen in the June quarter. Expense growth will be closely relevant after the Q1 margin fell to 13% from 22% a year earlier. Investors can also compare operating profit with the Rs 2.33 crore recorded in June 2026. Half-year figures may provide a clearer view of the pace of recovery in the Media and Real Estate businesses. Cinevista has stated that its results are prepared under Ind AS 34 and reviewed by the Audit Committee before Board approval. The company is expected to release the approved Q2 and half-year results following the Board meeting on October 27, 2026.

Conclusion

Cinevista entered its Q2 FY27 results date after reporting approximately Rs 7.49 crore in Q1 revenue and Rs 1 crore in net profit. Revenue growth was strong year-on-year, but higher expenses reduced margins. The October 27 announcement will provide the next set of confirmed figures on revenue, costs, profitability and segment performance. The trading window will reopen 48 hours after the results are disclosed.
