HT Media posted a good set of number on both the revenue and the profitability front. Top-line growth was 24.8% yoy to `467cr. Recurring earnings grew a modest 10.5% yoy albeit on account of significant decrease in tax rate. Key highlights for the quarter include – 1) overall growth of 20% yoy in advertising revenue driven by 20.8% yoy growth in English and 19.5% yoy growth in Hindi. However, sequentially, the advertising revenue declined a bit, with a weak 2.1% qoq decline in English print and 0.6% qoq decline in Hindi, 2) 9.3% yoy/12.2% qoq increase in circulation revenues, 3) 80.4% yoy/ 41.8% qoq jump in radio revenues and 4) 347bp yoy OPM contraction due to 444bp yoy gross margin contraction. We maintain Buy on the stock.
