Zee

Key highlights:

    Crore in the corresponding quarter last year to Rs. 29.3 Crore in Q1
    FY2021.

    2008.1 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.
  3. EBITDA
    declined by 66.7% to Rs. 219.9 Crore from Rs. 659.8 crore in Q1 FY2020.
  4. Domestic
    ad-revenue declined by 67% to Rs. 219.9 crore in Q1 FY21 from Rs. 659.8
    Crore in Q1 FY2020.
  5. Steep
    ad decline has affected the company’s operating profit. The reason for
    decline being the unprecedented COVID-19 lockdown which led to no fresh
    content production on the platform and severe restrictions were imposed on
    regular business activity. However, according to the company, content
    creation and some business activities have resumed due to ease in lockdown
    in various states and the company expects to generate higher ad revenues
    in the next quarter. The H2 FY2021 looks positive for the company.
