Cineline India Posts Strong Q3 FY26 Results, Sharp Profit Jump and Sets Capital-Light Expansion Plan

Cineline India Limited ( (IN:CINELINE) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Cineline India Limited reported robust Q3 and nine-month FY26 performance, with total revenue rising 10% year-on-year in the quarter to ₹7,025 lakh and 16% for the nine months to ₹18,150 lakh, driven by higher box office and food and beverage collections. EBITDA grew 33% in Q3 and 32% over nine months, with margins expanding by 500 and 280 basis points respectively, while quarterly profit after tax surged to ₹621 lakh despite an exceptional expense related to higher employee benefit obligations, and Cash PAT rose 71% in Q3 and 129% over nine months. Key operating metrics improved, including modest growth in admissions, higher average ticket price and spend per head, and the opening of a new three-screen multiplex in Bareilly, taking the network to 80 screens. Following the sale of its hotel asset and resulting annual savings of about ₹22 crore in debt servicing, the company is emphasizing sustainable free cash flow generation and a capital-light, revenue-share led expansion strategy, which is expected to support further screen additions, reduce fixed rental and capex burdens, and potentially enhance returns for stakeholders.
