The company recorded consolidated revenue from operations of Rs. 81.23 crore in FY2025-26, registering a sharp 155 per cent year-on-year increase. Profit after tax, after exceptional items, stood at Rs. 41.55 crore, reflecting a 225 per cent rise compared to the previous financial year.
Quint Digital stated that the growth was led primarily by its media-tech vertical, including six months of revenue consolidation from Quintype Inc. The company described Quintype as its principal growth engine and a potential “sunrise” business within the group’s expanding digital ecosystem.
The company also reported a 53 per cent expansion in its balance sheet, supported by realised and mark-to-market gains on strategic investments. Debt funding was reduced by 51 per cent, significantly strengthening financial flexibility and supporting long-term value creation.
According to the company, cash and liquid investments increased substantially year-on-year, with net cash and cash equivalents, calculated after deducting gross debt from gross cash, almost doubling to more than Rs. 250 crore. This resulted in a zero net debt position. The company clarified that the net cash and equivalents figure includes the mark-to-market valuation of its investment in Lee Enterprises as of March 31, 2026.
Quint Digital highlighted its successful transition from a newsroom-led digital publisher to a technology-enabled content and platform company. The legacy digital news business now contributes only a single-digit share of consolidated revenues.
The company’s United States-based subsidiary, Quintype US, operates ListenFirst Media, a premium social digital media analytics platform serving major Fortune 500 companies. Quintype India operates an AI-powered publishing platform that delivers end-to-end digital publishing solutions to more than 300 clients across global markets.
Quintype India reported standalone full-year revenue of Rs. 24.76 crore for FY2025-26. Its operational portfolio includes BOLD, Sage, Ahead, Metype and Accesstype. Its client base includes Gulf News, Khaleej Times and Fortune India.
Quintype US, through ListenFirst Media, posted standalone full-year revenue of Rs. 92.94 crore. The platform serves major international brands including Spotify, Amazon, Disney and Lionsgate.
The company stated that together, its media-tech platforms now contribute the largest share of operating revenues, creating scalable technology-led growth opportunities with improving margin visibility.
Quint Digital also announced the launch of Kisan India, a strategic platform aimed at expanding the group’s presence in digital agriculture content and rural engagement.
In a major international move, the company increased its stake in Lee Enterprises to 14.59 per cent through the acquisition of additional shares. The investment formed part of a USD 50 million private investment in public equity initiative led by David Hoffmann, with Quint Digital committing approximately USD 7.97 million.
The company said it recognised a mark-to-market gain of Rs. 121.87 crore on its investment in Lee Enterprises as of March 31, 2026. It added that these gains remain unrealised and are subject to fluctuations in the share price of Lee Enterprises listed on NASDAQ.
Quint Digital stated that the strategic relationship with Lee Enterprises strengthens its global media-tech positioning. Lee Enterprises owns BLOX Digital, a major digital solutions provider serving media organisations across the United States and other international markets. The company said the partnership could create opportunities to jointly scale technology platforms, AI-powered newsroom tools and enterprise digital publishing products.
Expanding its consumer-facing presence, Quint Digital entered into an exclusive franchise partnership with Time Out Group to launch Time Out India and Time Out Market India.
The company officially launched Time Out India on April 23, 2026, with dedicated digital platforms for Delhi and Mumbai. The platforms provide curated recommendations covering food and beverages, arts and culture, cinema, entertainment and events.
Quint Digital also announced that India’s first Time Out Market will open at Worldmark Aerocity in New Delhi during the second half of FY27. The flagship venue will feature 11 curated kitchens, two full-service bars, a live performance stage and a private events space with seating capacity for around 500 people.
The company stated that the launch of Time Out India and the commencement of Time Out Market Aerocity operations are expected to materially increase operating revenue and mark its entry into the scalable business segment of digital media-led physical retail and commerce.
Quint Digital described itself as India’s leading listed digital and media-tech company focused on AI-powered innovation. The group operates multiple platforms including The Quint, The News Minute, Youth Ki Awaaz and Kisan India. The company also noted that Quintype’s AI-powered editorial platform currently supports more than 300 publishers worldwide.
The company reiterated that its strategic expansion into global media technology, analytics, AI-driven publishing and physical commerce reflects a broader vision to become a long-term technology partner for publishers and digital enterprises worldwide.
