HT Media Group | Q2 FY2026-27 Consolidated Results Chairperson’s Message “In the second quarter of the financial year, your Company consolidated the gains made in the first quarter and grew its consolidated revenue year-on-year with improved profitability, despite the shift in the festive season to the third quarter this year. Print continued to anchor the Company’s performance, with advertising revenue growing year-on-year across both our English and Hindi titles. However, higher newsprint costs, compounded by the rupee's depreciation amid global uncertainty, exerted some pressure on margins. These factors remain important considerations for the coming quarters. Our Radio business' revenue declined year-on-year and sequentially following the rationalisation of our station network. This rationalisation has strengthened our profitability and established a more sustainable operating base for the business. Digital operations recorded a modest sequential improvement in both revenue and profitability, reflecting the continued focus on a leaner portfolio and quality of earnings, with an emphasis on sustainable and profitable growth. As we enter the festive quarter, the Company remains focused on strengthening its core businesses and maintaining financial discipline. Our endeavour remains to stay relevant in a changing media landscape while balancing the interests of our audiences and shareholders. We thank you for your continued confidence and support. Mrs. Shobhana Bhartia Chairperson and Editorial Director | HT Media Ltd. & Hindustan Media Ventures Ltd. ” 3
