Commenting on the same, Mr. Rasesh Kanakia, Chairman, said – “Q1 FY23 was the first quarter of our Cinema Operations. We were pleased to see a strong traction of footfall at MovieMax in April and May. While going live online and creating brand awareness for MovieMax started in April, we did very good business.
In Q1 FY23, we clocked Revenues of Rs. 1,676 Lakhs and EBITDA of 356 Lakhs. Our EBITDA Margins stood at 21.2%. EBITDA impacted on account of increased manpower and marketing costs for future growth of the business.
We are seeing huge opportunities in the film exhibition space, and we will aggressively grow our business. We are focusing on Tier II & III cities because of lack of entertainment avenues especially multiplexes. We want to increase our penetration and acquire more screens, PAN India. We will look to convert single screens into multiplexes.”
