What the board approved
The board of the company met on Thursday, October 15, 2026 and approved the Unaudited Financial Results (Standalone and Consolidated) for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026. The results were reviewed and recommended by the Audit Committee. Limited Review Reports from the statutory auditors, Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP and Gupta Mittal & Co., and a press release formed part of the same update.
Change in how figures are shown
Effective from this quarter, the financial results are presented in crore instead of million. Comparative information for earlier periods has been suitably rounded off and restated in crore, and has been regrouped or reclassified where considered necessary.
Standalone numbers (quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026)
- 'Revenue from operations' for the quarter: Rs. 586.81 crore
- 'Net profit for the period' for the quarter: Rs. 68.39 crore
- 'Net profit for the period' for the half year: Rs. 169.28 crore
Consolidated numbers (quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026)
- 'Revenue from operations' for the quarter: Rs. 580.81 crore
- 'Total income' for the quarter: Rs. 614.27 crore
- 'Net profit for the period' for the quarter: Rs. 68.62 crore
- 'Net profit for the period' for the half year: Rs. 169.35 crore
The consolidated statement covers D. B. Corp Limited, DB Infomedia Private Limited and I Media Corp Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of DB Infomedia Private Limited.
Lease termination gain
During the quarter the company relocated its registered office and terminated the lease arrangement relating to the previous registered office premises. A gain of Rs. 13.39 crore arose from the derecognition/remeasurement of lease-related balances, including the lease liability, right-of-use asset and security deposit, and was recognised under 'Other Income'.
Auditors' conclusion
The auditors state that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe the statements have not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable accounting standard, or that they contain any material misstatement. A review provides moderate assurance, is less in scope than an audit, and no audit opinion is expressed.
How to read it
- This is the company's quarterly results announcement, with both standalone and consolidated statements.
- The figures above are for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026; the statements also carry columns for earlier periods, which a reader can compare against.
- The shift from million to crore is a change in presentation, and earlier periods have been restated on the same basis so the numbers stay comparable.
