Zee Ent slips to Rs 102-crore net loss in Q4, revenue falls 7%

Zee Entertainment (Zee) reported a quarterly loss on Tuesday for the January-March period, as ​weak advertising demand and higher expenses hurt earnings. Zee, which runs channels including ZeeTV, ZeeCinema and streaming platform Zee5, reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 102 crore for Q4FY26, from a profit ‌of Rs 188.4 crore a ​year ago.

Zee’s advertising revenue, ​which accounts for nearly 40% of total revenue, fell ​3.5% in Q4, as the Middle East crisis hurt ad spending in March. But Zee’s subscription revenue ​rose nearly 4% in Q4, supported by user growth in its digital platform (Zee5) and higher average revenue per ​user.
