The March quarter proved to be a major boost for the exhibition sector, thanks to the performance of big screen titles. According to PVR INOX, Q4 FY26 recorded its highest ever fourth quarter box office collections, supported by films such as Dhurandhar – The Revenge, Border 2 and Project Hail Mary, among others.
The quarter also underlined an important post-pandemic reality: when the content works, audiences are still willing to step out, pay premium ticket prices and spend inside cinemas. PVR INOX recorded 31 million admissions during the quarter, a 2% year-on-year growth. The average ticket price stood at Rs. 315, registering a sharp 22% YoY jump, while the spend per head on food and beverages rose to Rs. 165, up 32% YoY.
The company’s operating performance also improved significantly. EBITDA rose 56.1% to Rs. 452 crore in Q4 FY26 from Rs. 289 crore in Q4 FY25, while EBITDA margin improved to 29.2% from 23.5% in the same quarter last year. The growth was visible across the business. PVR INOX attributed the quarter’s improved performance to a 27% rise in ticket sales, a 33% increase in food and beverage sales and a 15% growth in advertising income as compared to the same period last year.
On a sequential basis too, the company delivered a strong profit jump. PAT rose 95% from Rs. 96 crore in Q3 FY26, even though revenue was lower quarter-on-quarter, with the October-December quarter having delivered revenue of around Rs. 1,850 crore.
For the full financial year FY26, PVR INOX said it delivered its highest-ever revenue, EBITDA and PAT, while also reducing net debt to a negligible level. The company recorded 150 million patrons during the year, with average ticket price reaching Rs. 280 and spend per head touching Rs. 147, both record highs for the company.
