Prime Focus Ltd reported a consolidated net profit of ₹58.27 crore in Q2 FY27. That was more than 14 times the ₹4.06 crore it earned a year earlier. Strong demand for visual effects helped drive the increase in revenue and profit. Prime Focus is the parent company of visual effects and animation studio DNEG, the visual mastermind behind Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana.
Consolidated revenue from operations rose 35.2% to ₹1,410.17 crore in the September quarter. The company posted operating revenue of ₹1,042.89 crore in the same quarter last year. Operating revenue rose by ₹367.28 crore from the same quarter last year. Total income, including other income, increased from ₹1,071.85 crore to ₹1,446.59 crore.
Profit before tax (PAT) climbed to ₹91.04 crore from ₹5.8 crore a year earlier. The company also recorded an exceptional loss of ₹2.11 crore during the September quarter. The latest results marked a turnaround from the preceding June quarter. Prime Focus had posted a consolidated net loss of ₹45.78 crore in that quarter.
For the first half of FY27, consolidated operating revenue reached ₹2,666.25 crore. That compares with ₹2,019.71 crore in the same period a year earlier.
That was a ₹646.54 crore year-on-year rise. First-half net profit fell from ₹114.52 crore to ₹12.49 crore, partly due to exceptional expenses. The June-quarter loss absorbed most of the September-quarter profit.
